Ok, just to put the fuel prices in perspective. My low fuel light came on on my way back from lunch. I pulled into the gas station to fill up and noticed the price was $0.05 more than the station I just passed. So I decided to only put a little in to make it the rest of the day (cheap). I put in $15 and hopped back in the truck. Guess what, the low fuel light was still on. $15 and I can't even get off E.

I used to be able to fill the motorhome for $150. Today I went to run the generator for awhile and I couldn't because I was under 1/4 tank. I put $50 in and it only went up 1/8 of a tank.

Ya, but you see we didn't take it down to the local UL Listed LAB DriveThru to get our numbers Certified so it's not REAL DATA.

I think it is too, I was just starting to have fun. The real funnies for me is those that have commented about the Enviro's and Greenie's, (I guess they are assuming I am one). That is the funniest thing in the world to me because I have never been or am not now an Environmental Wacko, Greenie, Enviro or any of the other Earth Loving denominations.
I just like the Experimentation and my main goal is to keep from spending so much on Gas at these prices. HHO Ain't Free?? I haven't seen any Free Gasoline or Diesel Pumps around here either. I just looked up that it takes over 8100 btu's to produce 1 gallon of Gasoline. That Ain't Free energy either! I never claimed that HHO was Free energy but using it as Supplementation off an existing source is very cost effective when a guy gets 10 mpg increase in his Dodge Caravan, especially at current Gas Prices.
Ok, I'm going to get back to Real RV issues now because this is keeping me from getting my TT ready for the next trip.
It's been Real, It's been fun, but now I need to go find that Snake Oil so I can give the TT a good Wax job. Does anyone have any REAL DATA on Snake Oil's effectiveness vs Silicone Based wax products?
I am still waiting on my patent to come in on my carburetor adapter to get better fuel mileage by piping the methane off my blackwater tank. I swear I get 20 miles to a dump!

My wife wants me to run a hose to the driver's seat to pump methane but that's to solve a different issue.
