class c with v10
I'm looking at a class C on a ford chassis with a V10 engine and no big cab over the front. What kind of mileage can i expect on regular country roads while staying at the speed limit.

I have a conventional C Class and a friend has a B+ both on the same chassis. When we run down the road together, same road & speed we get identical mileage.
The difference between the two front ends means nothing in mileage from an aerodynamic point of view.
The big difference is I have an ‘extra’ queen bed that he doesn’t.
My 09 Cambria was aerodynamic in the front also. 8.5 mpg average over a 45k mile period.
Pulling a 5k load I got as low as 5 mpg with a bit of a head wind. Pulling my JK Wrangler there was no difference in MPG. 62mph was the sweet spot. A super C can be quite large on an International bobtail chassis. I have seen some Chevrolet's with the Duramax diesel. . I have a Duramax in my GMC truck. Pulling my trailer @10K pounds it gets maybe 12/14 @ 60mph. All stock, no chips, no tuners.
