Average gas mileage on C class
We now have a 32' fifth wheel. We get 10 miles pulling. Thinking of downsizing to C class (about 30'). Hoping to get at least 10 miles to gallon. Have any suggestions? Mema

On a recent trip (1,800 miles) I was getting 16.3 MPG. I usually get 15+ but since I was traveling with a friend towing a 5th wheel, we had to keep the speed to 60 in California most of the way. On one tank I actually got 20.3MPG. However, I have to say there was a consistent tail wind the whole time and my friend went from 9.5 to 11.5 on his Dodge Hemi V8, so it wasn't just bad math. This is the first trip I have not driven 70-75 mph, so I could really see the difference. I figure in the 50,000 miles I have driven, I saved about $10,000 in fuel cost. Well, it will be somewhat less now as the turbocharger is a no-show and I have a feeling repairs are not going to be cheap. What is the real cost of an RV per mile? Anyone who just put six new tires on knows that is isn't just how far you can go on a gallon of fuel.
