Class C under 30 ft. with gas engine
Can anyone tell me if there is an RV made like the Winnebago View ( a class C under 30 feet) that has a gas engine?

You will be fortunate to get 10 mpg on most class C gassers. 8 mpg is probably a more realistic number. Also bear in mind that the generator is usually set up so that it won't run if there's less than about a quarter tank of gas (so as not to leave you stranded), so filling up a little more frequently than is absolutely needed is often desirable.
My general experience is that the gas tank is sufficient but not super generous when driving, and far bigger than I want when pumping and paying for the gas. :B
While maybe gas engines don't last as long as diesels on average, that part is completely immaterial for the vast majority of RVs. You'll never approach the lifespan of either one. The Ford V10 is pretty nearly bulletproof and can last for a few hundred thousand miles with proper maintenance. The house parts of the RV will generally wear out long before the powertrain. (The Chevy gas engines are also quite reliable.)
Many auto service places will not service RVs, not so much (or only) because of the length but also because of the height and weight and general familiarity. Others will; finding service isn't usually a big problem.
