Our major expense during this trip will be fuel. We are splitting the diesel that we are using in the Dodge 3500 that is towing the toy hauler (which holds the Motorcycles). Here, I'm trying to keep up with roughly how much fuel this trip requires and how much it costs us.
First fuel-up @ Watt Road in Knoxville
51,920
Second fuel-up @ Paducah
52,226
Approximately 32 gallons for 306 miles = 9.5 MPG
Third fuel-up @ Kingdom City
52,504
Approximately 33 gallons for 278 miles = 8.4 MPG
Fourth fuel-up @ Hamburg, Iowa
52,789
Approximately 34 gallons for 285 miles = 8.4 MPG
Fifth fuel-up @ Kearney, Nebraska
53,037
Approximately 27.5 gallons for 248 miles = 9 MPG
Sixth fuel-up @ Bridgeport, Nebraska
53,285
Approximately 27.5 gallons for 248 miles = 9 MPG
