Fuel Mileage on 8.1 Workhorse

[burgess001]

I drove DP's for years. Thinking about a 30 ft Workhorse. What kind of gas mileage can I expect

8MPG is a good average to use. In the Western mountains, and with a toad, I sometimes got as low as 5. To tell the truth, I never really worried about fuel mileage. The 8.1L and Allison transmission got me through every mountain pass and never missed a beat. Plenty of power to climb and keep up with traffic.

MPG varies depending on several factors. The RIG below is a Damon Intruder 377W they call it 37' I call it 38, 8.1L workhorse
I"ve seen 6 or less (headwind) and I've seen 13.8 (Ok so the tumble weeds were passing me doing about 100 MPH, I'm not kidding that was one 7734 of tail wind)

Normally about 8 Fresh wax job and no towed I hit 11

The freshness of the wax job seems to make a big difference.

It will get better mileage than a Ford V10. But MitchF150 has an accurate and concise answer. When I had a Workhorse on a 30ft depending on conditions got low 8’s to mid 9’s.

We usually get 7.x mpg with our 8.1 Workhorse. Don't know if a newer motorhome than ours would be any better.
