I have a V10 in a 31' Class C and get between 7.5-10 mpg. Depends on wind direction, terrain, speed and if I'm towing a car. I like 65 mph.

You'll naturally react to it over time until you hardly notice it. I have front and rear stabilizer bars and Safe T Plus Steering stabilizer.
Re: Semi push - Yeah, I'm already "looking" for when a semi is in my side mirror. It's when you get a little more push than you're expecting is when that little shot of adrenaline hits you. After about 25 or 30 of those over 4 or 5 hours I'm tired!! Am really looking forward to the rear bar getting here.

The effect of the bow wave coming off a passing semi is reduced dramatically as you move away, the space between you & it increases.
Next time a semi is passing you, while it’s still back a bit move a little left and crowd the line between the lanes, the semi driver will automatically move a little to the left to maintain separation distance too, then just he gets to you, ease back to the Ishtar and crowd the right side of your lane. It’s amazing how much that extra few feet makes in reducing the effect of the passing semi.
