finding right cruising speed for economical gas mileage
We just purchased a used 2008 Winnebago View with 5400 miles. Does anyone know a good speed to travel at to get the most out of the mileage? It is a V-6 diesel motor.

On your View slower is better....period. I got stuck in slow (but steady) moving traffic one day. My fuel economy was epic...something like 17-18 mpg. Trouble is we were doing a steady 35 mph or so....not a good freeway cruising speed.
I keep it to about 60-65 and get about 15 MPG while not towing. 60 MPH is also the speed limit for vehicles over 10k GVW in my state.
