I have the Cummins 330hp and tow a Jeep Wrangler 2 door everywhere we go. At 62mph it get 9mpg, at 75mph it gets 7.5mpg so I normally drive 62-65mph. On a recent trip to Florida (800 miles) I drove 62-65 all the way, which took about 2 hours longer but saved about 18 gallons of fuel or $72. We had 10 days so 2 hours made no difference to me.
Our current 34' 340HP DP seems to get better milage than the slightly larger/heavier models. I think we are soon to loose that MPG advantage with our newly ordered 2015 Newmar Ventana 40' Tag Axle 400HP DP. BUT it should be a dream to drive with the TAG + Comfort Steer - Can't wait to burn that fuel - Whoo Hoo!!!!!!
