I cant help you with the mpg of various rigs but I will say that if you are doing a lot of boon docking you will need to look at your whole energy management picture. No matter the class of rv the converters are sometimes inadequate to provide quick battery charging. Large rv generators are wasteful and noisy when you are just trying to charge a battery. Sizing the battery bank, good converter selection (14.4 volt output), solar, led bulbs are all part of the equation. There is the issue of moving with the seasons so you minimize the use of AC.
So I wouldn't approach the fuel tank size, I would approach where you will be seasonally and how you plan to use energy. We all take it for granted when we walk into a house and flip on the switch with electricity at .012 kwh. Completely different in an rv and probably least practical when trying to do it with a standard on board rv generator.
