A friend of ours always blogs about his "statistics" for the year (thanks Rod) and I thought I'd blog ours as well! :-)
In 2007...
Don and I traveled 11,327.4 miles...these are all motorhome miles! I don't keep track of our car! <--- We are actually very surprised by that number since we've spent so much time this year in AR while building the house! We actually drove 152.1 miles MORE than in 2006!
We slept in 14 different states - AZ, NM, TX, LA, AL, FL, GA, AR, OK, NV, CA, MO, IN and TN.
We bought $5,888.57 worth of diesel (1981.869 gallons) paying an average of $2.674/gallon. We paid the most in Wakarusa, IN - $3.049/gallon (9/13/07) and the least in Orange, TX - $2.239/gallon (1/12/07). The most we spent in one fill up was $340.74 in Flagstaff, AZ and the most we put in at one fill up was 130.213 gallons in Olive Branch, MS (MS isn't listed above because we only traveled through it and didn't spend the night!) BTW our fill up in Olive Branch was NOT our most expensive fill-up, but came in a close second! If you do the math, this means we averaged 5.71 mpg. This number is not accurate since our Aqua-hot (hot water system) and generator also use diesel and we have no way of differentiating between them!
We spent $5,396.69 on campground fees which averages about $15.16/night! We spent 25 nights in repair facilities :-( which included Monaco Service Centers, Detroit Diesel (Florida and Arizona), Josam's (alignment - our choice) and Buddy Greggs (some of the nights were weekends waiting for Monday)! Our nightly fee includes our "free" nights and rallies that we've attended throughout the year!
Now that you've seen all our useless statistics, have a wonderful and safe New Year! :-)

You might try driving across the northern part of Idaho, its only 67 miles wide. Maybe you can get all the way across that state without having to fill up. Mississippi is 75 miles to get all the way across on I-10.......a long ways for a detroit.
Happy New Year
