IMO, if you are worried about fuel economy you probably should not be thinking about a motorhome of any type or size!

Ad nauseam. There are great opinions out there! This is not one of them. Telling someone not to worry about their MPGs is like telling McDonalds not to worry about the cost of a 7 cent cup. 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. Obviously the OP doesn't "IMO" your attitude on MPG, or they would not have asked....

There is a big difference in the fuel topic that is common here and the cost per cup for McD's. Yes for the Millions of cups that go into and out of the doors of any fast food chain the price of a cup counts.
However we are talking of a single motor home that is operated by a private owner. What is the average miles a private owner racks up every year? The difference of 1-2 MPG is not going to have that drastic of a impact on the cost of owning, maintaining and operating a RV. If after purchasing the RV the cost of operating an RV that gets 10 MPG vs the cost of operating one that gets 7 MPG is going to impact your usage perhaps RVing is not for them.
Fuel cost and usage is discussed here so much that it almost has become a source of entertainment. To read post of the efforts people will go through to attempt to cut their fuel cost when in reality it is a small part of the cost of owning an RV.
