Nope, I wouldn't believe the mpg, but I sure would believe that your coach is equipped with an instrument cluster from Actia.

Not remarkable when we consider the effects of "Zero G."

The average MPG display "Resets" every fifty miles or so, when it does this it can give some real strange readings. Then it settles down after a couple of miles and is far more accurate

NOT!!! When the tach shows something like 625RPM and the speedo is somewhere near 0 MPH (Flash prevents proper analysis of actual speed).

It appears you were in that sweet spot where your rig starts to make gas rather than use it. It is a phenomenon that many rvers persue but only a very few attain!

NASA bragging yesterday, length of plane per gal to bring shuttle back across the U.S. piggyback.
$1.8 million most will be used for fuel.
Makes me feel better about my 10mpg.
