The cost difference from best mpg to worst is about $30 per night. For some, this number matters. Others don't mind. Good mpg or not - choosing to drive a MH is the most significant decision.
Depreciation may be lower but then maintenance and repair tends to creep up. Depreciation can be many times higher, at which point gas becomes in significant.
