| * This was our only vehicle, no car, only Moby Dick, and the mileage was | ||||||
| much better when he wasn't pulling the Road Abode | ||||||
| ** We bought the Jeep in February of 2002, and Moby Dick just pulled | ||||||
| the Road Abode for the most part | ||||||
| *** August 1 we abandoned Moby Dick and the Road Abode for the Foretravel | ||||||
| motorhome, our new-to-us Road Abode. | ||||||
| **** The apparent abysmal mileage is offset by the fact that the hot water is | ||||||
| largely heated by diesel fuel, the furnace runs on diesel, and of course the | ||||||
| genset runs on diesel | ||||||
