Newer Ford V10 Gas Mileage
So, the Ford V10's with the Torqueshift 5-speed, what kind of mpg are you getting? Yes, I know alot depends on coach size and weight, but on average, how much?

Better do a odometer check or recalibrate your scangage (or maybe check your DH's calculations).- curious, why are you considering moving from a diesel to gas? I usually here the other way. Thanks
- On our 2008 we got 6-7 average over 22,000 miles we drove it.
- At no point did I say I was "worried" about mpg. I merely asked the question as we are considering moving to a gasser.
Everyone else - thanks for the info. - Yea, great mileage compared to my boat. It burns 40 gallons an hour at 4200rpm's.....

Elizabeth - With a 38' I get between 7 and 8 running at 65 to 70. Running slower doesn't make much difference. My twin diesel 43' trawler gets a little more than 1 mpg. If you got to worry about mpg drive a prius but they don't come with king size beds and a full galley. :)
- 2006 18K lbs. chassis with an average rolling weight around 15.5K. Best was 8.4, worst 6.3 and my average is 7.3 MPG. Flats, east coast version of mountains, sometime pulling a Honda Accord 2 door. I usually cruise at 2500 RPM which is around 63 MPH.
- I thought all V-10's got 6.5 to 7 MPG no matter how you drive them atleasst thats what I get no matter if I do 60 or 70 MPH.
- As a blue water sailer would say with the wind at my back and a following sea, I can get 9 mpg. But with a head wind, an incline and traffic 6 is possible
