Just a reminder! I was able to run the generator just before this while overniting at Sam's Roanoke Va. next to the airport. Gas is cheap at $2.22. Never see other rigs their. It's only three miles down 581 off of I81!!

Maybe the reason the gas is so cheap per gallon is because they know their pump is delivering less than a gallon??? While the OP does not say which chassis he has, I don't know of any GAS chassis with a tank larger than 75 gallons. I've been wrong before. ED

Our friends have a gas pusher with a 100 gal fuel tank. It's a Cruisemaster by Georgie Boy.

A Cruisemaster is a Workhorse UFO. The 100 gallon gas tank comes standard.

You are exactly right.....what was I thinking??  I knew there was another reason I wanted a UFO, and the extra fuel capacity was one of them. My Bad, sorry, but I did say I have been wrong before.  ED

Well it"s a deep subject. Remember that we were were told our generators would not suck our gas tanks dry? That's my main point. A couple years back I took on 80 gallons. By the way, my data sheet on my closet door describes my Allegro 31IA as having an 80 gallon tank. And I just wanted to remind you where to find some cheap fuel and a layover. Good luck!!

Imagine calling $2.22 cheap gas. I can remember $.189 when we got married. That was 50 years ago though. I think I may drive down to get some of that cheap gas though.

Maybe you have been hangin with DriVer to much. 
FWIW, when my notoriously accurite fuel guage reads 1/4 tank, my gennie will shut down.

The data sheet in our closet states that we also have an 80 gallon tank in our 2008 Allegro Bay gas coach too. Of course I don't believe that!

As it happens, last evening I was at the RV island at the Rock Hill SC Flying J. The coach took 80.5 gallons. The gas guage was one mark above red when I pulled in. It is what it is!!

I've got a Forest River Georgetown 391 with the UFO chassis. Specs say 100 gallons. When I took the gas tank down to the fumes and pulled into a Costco gas station I had to restart the pump twice. It quits at $100. Roughly three hundred dollars later at $2.90 per. I'll let you do the math.
