Impressed with MPG in old rig

[KeninAZ]

We bought an olde Bounder, 31.5' with the V-10 chassis and 73k on it last summer late. We spent a lot of time getting it ready for the season over the winter. The motor has an original Banks Power Pack on it.
Our first trip was only some 250 miles round trip to the Grand Canyon and I tower our Miata on it's trailer just to check how it handled and MPG while towing.
I would say that the roads were average at best but when I topped off I was rather amazed to find that we averaged 8.02 MPG on the old timer with 5 people on board. A pleasant shock when I was expecting 6-7 MPG.

Yea if one can drive a motorhome easy and not try and be in such a hurry you can see 8 mpg often even while towing.

I have found that it takes several tanks of gas to get a good average. Hope the 8 mpg holds up. 🙂

A 2000 Bounder? That's not old. 🙂

That is a good MPG number.
