What kinda gas mileage do you get?

A question that we frequently get is "what kind of gas mileage do you get?"

Well, now that we have a diesel, we don't get any gas mileage!!! We get fuel mileage -- but I say "gas" by mistake all the time. Hopefully I never purchase gasoline by mistake!

It seems that the pumps for trucks at truck stops don't usually provide receipts at the pump. The trucks often seem to pull up far enough that the next truck can start filling, and then the driver goes in, maybe to get a receipt, but certainly to get snacks. We decided to just take a photo of the pump to keep our records.
When leaving Virginia we filled up...

My intention was to take a picture of the odometer each time too... but my rememberer doesn't always kick in!

This was on the way through Tennesee
We filled up one more time when we got to the Dallas area. We figured it cost us about $600 to drive from Virginia to Dallas (the fill up in Virginia doesn't "count").

We think we get about 6-6.5 miles per gallon of fuel. Pretty poor mileage for a car, but not bad at all for a house! What mileage does YOUR house get???  ;-)
