I'm averaging about 6.2 - 6.4 MPG towing my 6,000 pound toad but I drive around 66 to 68 MPH now. I used to drive slower with my old coach but this one feels safer than my gasser.

I keep detailed fuel records, but with the diesel generator and the diesel furnace, my fuel records don't count for much. I'm getting about 5.8 mpg over all if you only look at the diesel in vs miles.
