By golly you're right.. thanks. So we have indeterminate MPG when sitting still.

Winter has dragged on far too long for some of you.:)

Doubt if they are in the N American market yet but the Fiat diesel Bs would be very good. Don't expect any dazzling performance in the mountains.

RV milage is good compared to boats where very often owners are talking in terms of how many gallons they burn up in one mile. Was out on a boat with 2 225hp outboards. WOT that thing was sucking 30gph. Imagine that! a gallon burned every 2 minutes & you are only doing about 40mph.

A slow moving cruising 65' motoryacht at best speed, maybe 10mph, will get maybe a gallon & a half per mile in smooth seas.

Zero divided by zero is 'undefined'.

New rules; zero divided by zero is one

Actually, zero divided by zero is indeterminate. Any other number divided by zero is undefined.

I get 16+ on my '75 Dodge/Roadtrek 19 Versatile and 8.5 on my 38' Newmar.

My Class B (6L gas engine) gets 19 mpg on open flat highway (no stops). I get an average of 16-18 on general highway driving, 14-15 local driving. The only RV that will do slightly better (at a higher cost for fuel) is a Diesel Sprinter Class B.

Yeah. Or a moped and tarp-on-a-rope.

I'd agree.

I have a 21 foot full height/width TT I've towed around with a small diesel SUV. First a Jeep Libby CRD, now a BMW X5 35d, when towing, I get around 14 average at 60 mph. Worst tank, 9 into a 50 mph headwind; best tank 18 with a strong tailwind.

21 ft full height and width 21 foot TT I tow with a 2013 Touareg TDI AWD SUV that weighs a full 5000 pounds. 57-58 MPH yields 16.5 to 19.5 MPG's on 4 trips from L.A. to Yellowstone, 500 to 550 miles per day.

31 to 34-35 MPG's when empty, 31 mostly city, 34 -35, all interstate. Most of CA freeways have a speed limit of 65, so that's about the speed I travel when on the freeways.
