Hi Boon Docker,
I drive 48 mph and on the flat I get an honest 11 mpg US. If I drive 50, it costs me 1 mpg.
I do have air tabs, but they appear to just make the inside of the RV a lot quieter regarding wind noise. If I'm able to follow a big truck or have a tail wind then the air tabs appear to make a difference in mileage.
I do have taller than OEM tires because I wanted to improve weight capacity. The OEM driver's rear was right on the edge of the capacity so when they aged out I moved up. To do so required buying seven new rims.
