I've never gotten above 8.3. 33 foot C. Loaded.
I expected more like yours, anyway nice to see 25.8US mpg for a nearly 26ft,11,000lb GVWR Motorhome
This is also pretty stunning 16.8USMpg towing a Suzuki JimmyWe average 14/100(16.8 US mpg) 2020 iveco avida Esperance upgraded weight 5200 towing a Suzuki Jimny
I think the 16.8 mpg towing a Suzuki Jimny is much more realistic. A small, light towed vehicle should hardly affect fuel mileage. When I had an E450 based class C, of course it got much worse mileage, but towing a 3200 pound vehicle cost me less than 1 mpg. As far as getting almost 26 mpg in an 11000 lb motorhome? I think they adopted in Australia the time-tested American method of increase fuel economy- make up numbers to impress the internet! :W
No several others have similar fuel economies, so overall not that unusual. Remember their Diesel not Gas Motorhomes., the diesels get vastly better fuel economies and much greater reliability than in the US, under non NA regulations, bit like comparing Oranges to Apples.See the other posts on the FB website, similar fuel economies. None in their right mind here would run a gas powered motorhome, possibly a LPG conversion but not a Petrol one.
