Sunstar 26HE mileage?

Looking at the Itasca Sunstar 26HE. Dealer claims MPG could be 10 @ 55 level ground. Just read a review that is saying overall at 7.5. Any real world figures out there?
thanks, I know. If you cant afford it!!!!

    Best laugh I've had all day !!!!

    That level ground has to be at the bottom of a long 5% grade.

    You are cutting a 12 ft 2 inch high by 8 ft 5.5 inch wide hole in the air with a flat non-aerodynamic surface. 362 hp isn't going to do that without using a lot of gas.

    Amazing what the sales people will say......and later deny.

    7.5 MPG sounds about right. 10 MPG is not going to happen.
