 Don't have calculator handy but using Cliff's DD figure 39.97 x 583.6 ought to do it.  ;D

I have a Silverleaf and I believe I am averaging over 50 MPH since I got the Silverleaf some years back.  I am a stickler on no idling.  If we are sitting more than two minutes or so I shut off the engine.  My friends will just leave the engine running even if we stopping for 30 or 40 minutes.  Idling doesn't help fuel economy and not great for the engine either.

I have no idea how DD comes up with numbers I can see running 80mph on a Texas Interstate it would not work,then on a interstate in Ca towing with the 55 mph speed limit with traffic it wouldn't average out either

total mileage is ......... 28,148 miles
kind of sad as that is only 5,630 miles per year , but we use the coach every week end from june to mid october camping at the cottage ( only 5 miles from home and we drive it there each weekend  all summer ) plus we drive to florida to a lot we have and use it there for 2 mths each winter
