M.P.G.
We are looking to get a 42' M/H single axle to full time in. I was told that, that size M/H would get somewhere between 7-11 M.P.G. We just started looking at a tag axle. Can we expect better or...

I could however I think make a suggestion to the builders that might make a difference. now that we have flat screen TVs they could rake the front end back a foot and a half like before TV was the big thing and they started sticking deep Tube type TVS up over the front end. I would bet that sloping the front end would cut air resistance considerably and likely increase mileage.
You mean like they all used to look like back in the early 90's before the 'bus style' flat-as-a-board front end became the standard for Class A? We bought a 92 Monaco Signature mostly for the price and quality but I really think its great that its wedge shape and not a flat nose. And we still have a flat screen up front.
Although I do notice that a few manufacturers are starting to move back toward a more aerodynamic front end again. Given the height and width of a widebody, and the price of fuel, I'm kinda surprised it took this long.
