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.
Yes, I understand that these motorhomes getting this alleged mpg are diesel. I know you hate gas engines, and that's ok. I like diesels. I own a diesel pickup. It weighs about 7000 lbs., and at 60 mpg on flat terrain it gets 20 mpg all day. It's older but is in excellent mechanical shape and has no emission controls. My buddy has a Mercedes Sprinter diesel class B motorhome, and he doesn't get anywhere near 26 mpg. Maybe Australian math is different?
