Love our MH and I am a bit put off by those saying "if you worry about mileage, you can't afford it" thing, but we still do.
We are 32K + 4.5K toad.
Without toad @ 65 = around 7mpg.
With toad @ 65 = around 7mpg.
With GENNY running @ 65 = around 6.7.
Goind 75 in a headwind, toad, and GENNY, around 5.5mpg.
A good tailwind can get us in the 8mpg range, as long as going 70 or slower.
380hp/1050TQ ISC 8.3L. Usually loaded up heavy.

I agree, when people say that about mileage. One of the main reasons for checking is to see if an issue as started to arise.
A met fella who also owns a Prevost Liberty Coach (bought slightly used) found that he was only getting 4.5 mpg with his Detroit Diesel. Thinking that was lower than it should be getting he had it checked by the Prevost service center.
There was an issue where something needed to be adjusted (sorry I can't remember what they called it), but the gap was out of spec. Once it was adjusted correctly, he said the engine ran so much smoother and his mileage improved to almost 6 mpg.
I check my fuel mileage for that purpose, to see if any significant changes pop up.
