Why worry about cents when you make billions? It all most certainly matters in the end, but then again we already covered this quote; ad nauseam.

Thanks...exactly. Thank you to all who posted. My question wasn't which motorhome gets the best fuel mileage, what I was really fishing for was that the Tiffin Red 34 has a 340HP Cummins but yet only has 660lb.ft. of torque. My guess is that the loss in torque would be made up in fuel mileage. Additionally, with the Allison 2500 transmission, the Tiffin Red 34 only has a tow capacity of 5000lbs.
I was just looking to see what others are getting for fuel mileage with the engine, transmission, torque, etc. set up that they have.
I will definitely look for a Tiffin forum and see what the trade offs are. I may even call Tiffin and see if the Red 34 comes with a Allison 3000 instead of the 2500. Thanks again.
