Best of luck with new RV and mileage sounds great but you are right, once your foot gets a little heavier then the MPG will go down but we know that and enjoy. IF one cannot afford the gas or diesel, not a good idea to buy a big Class A. We just bought a 2003 Newmar and expect 8mpg but know it could be less, HOPE not but...

Georgetown makes a great coach. Hope you enjoy it!
4 whopping cylinders on Toyota RV's. Talk about great getting good MPG. Also I have a very light foot on the pedal. I followed some MPG advice on Livingpress.com and I now get 22 MPG! Not bad for a home on wheels.

We had a a 32' Georgetown (2002) with the V-10 and the older 4-speed auto trans. Our typical load was me, DW and two Labradors. Our trips were rarely over two weeks away from home and all in WA and OR.

It was a "one-owner from new" when we bought in 2010, with just under 12,000 miles on the clock. We put another 6000 miles on it and averaged just under 8 mpg, based on gas receipts and odometer readings. When we realised we were dipping into our IRA to pay for the hobby, we decided to quit after 3 seasons.

As far as MPG that what unit says plugged into to the plug which looks for codes. But remember I was never in a rush and was a little scare of unit and hardly stepped on gas peddle trip took a lot longer and I am sure when I can feel comfortable it won't get it either because I like to get were I'm going sooner then latter.

Congratulations on the new rig. You'll enjoy that extra room. My uncle has a 2005 Georgetown that he bought new. It's been a good rig with very few problems.
