Wow...a relatively honest thread on mileage...
I usually open these mileage threads up only to get a chuckle out of the folks claiming 14 MPG in a 45 foot Class A.
That’s because the gasser people are honest in thier reporting unlike the other fuel users which we will not name!!! :B
My digital readout says 6.2 mpg average over a 11yr period and no, the gasser's aren't always honest people, either. Also some who rely on pencil and paper for one trip, which is coasting downhill for the most part.:S- Plenty of answers for the OP's question here.
Just hope it's not a deciding factor for purchasing an RV in the first place, otherwise they're in for a rude awakening.
There's numerous threads on MPG, while next to none on depreciation per mile, where the cost of ownership really is and especially with the newer models. STBRetired wrote:

Can't see any reason to lie about it.
Well you, I and most wouldn’t. But there are quite a few that like too. Like the kid where I used to work that claimed 25mpg towing his 8000lb 28ft car hauler! I didn’t even say anything that’s how stupid it sounded!!!- My old 1994 PaceArrow 34' with p30 chassis with 454 tbi pulling 2 door wrangler 6-7.5
I know you asked gas but my 1998 country coach with Detroit series 40 pulling same jeep has been 8 mpg the lowest usually 9-9.5 - Our '02 (a 32-ft Class A with the EFI Ford V-10) averaged about 7.7 mpg. We didn't tow anything. The good part was that the MPG was altitude independent, We did not like our old 26' Class C whose gas mileage varied between 7 mpg at sea level, but dropped to around 4.5 at about 2500 ft ASL. It had a carb-equipped Ford 460 V-8.

I usually open these mileage threads up only to get a chuckle out of the folks claiming 14 MPG in a 45 foot Class A. - 2005 HR Admiral 34SBD 8.1 Vortec and Allison 5spd auto...lifetime average was 7.63 mpg towing an 06 CR-V over 34,000 miles.
- 2005 Sea Breeze 34’ - AZ to Colorado trip avg 6.7 mpg this summer but 2 mpg over Red Moutain Pass ;-P
In 2017 we drove 2007 Mirada 34’ - AZ to Utah trip avg 6.5 mpg
I’m usually refueling around 350 and plan accordingly. We are pretty well loaded with 2 adults and 4 kiddos.
Driving a 2010 HR now and can’t wait check out the performance. So far the smoothest ride and avg 7.5 mpg but not loaded. Will be interested to see when we go on a real trip.
