A budget of 50K a year
Well I think I’m leaning more towards a DP than a MH. All I’ve read or heard leads me to think it would best suit what we want to do. Now I know it’s more expensive to own one but would a budget of 5...

I'd say you are low on the gasser mpg and high on the DP mpg. Of course that does depend on the specific coach. Our 2003 Executive with ISM500 Cummins gets 6-7mpg. Our previous Workhorse Pace Arrow gasser, got 8mpg.

Here is a formula I came up with showing the difference in diesel vs gas.
Gas Tank Cost Fill up MPG Distance per tank
80 gals $2.93 $234.40 6 480 miles
Diesel Tank Cost Fill up MPG Distance per tank
80 gals $3.54 $283.20 9 720 miles
720 – 480 = 240 miles further for a diesel. 240 miles / 6 mpg = 40 gals more gas to go same distance. 40 gals X $2.93 = $117.20. $117.20 + $234.40 = $351.60 in gas to go the 720 miles or $68.40 more than what was put in the diesel’s tank.
Is this correct?
