Fuel Mileage on 8.1 Workhorse
I drove DP's for years. Thinking about a 30 ft Workhorse. What kind of gas mileage can I expect

dodge guy and ArchHoagland,
I agree with your math and refueling policies. The only thing I'd add is that the height for the pick-up tube for the generator is usually set at about the 1/4 full mark on the gas tank. So if you are using the generator, you definitely want to be looking for fuel well before the 1/4 full point on the tank. And up and down hills might even cause it to start sucking air before that point is reached. In our rig we usually travel with the generator running to keep the family comfortable, so I used to fill up around the 325-350 mile point which seemed to work well for us.
