Odometer

Mileage and numbers, logged tank by tank.

New Category

I decided to keep track of mileage and other numbers associated with the BootBus in the newest category "Mileage and Numbers"

This morning I filled the gas tank up - 39,050 says the odometer - I wanna figure out exact miles per gallon on this thing.

Odometer update

39441 miles - 11.832 gallons

Odometer update

39549 miles - 7.560 gallons

108 miles since last tank divided by 7.560 = 14.28 mpg

Exact Numbers before leaving

We are ready to go - the van is packed with a suprising amount of space left. It is overcast and a slight drizzle...sorry with this being Sunday, I am kinda play by play mode, as if it were a Bears game.

Mileage: 39575

Peace.
