We have downsized from a class A diesel to a Fleetwood Tioga class C gas, Ford V10. After our first trip, I found that our milage/gallon was better on the 38 foot diesel (8.3mpg fully loaded and towing) than the gas with a tow and less of a load (7.2mpg or less).
What kind of mileage can I expect from the Ford V10? What's the best RPM or speed to drive to attain peak mileage? Does an octane boost improve the mileage?
We have had two V-10's and both will achieve around 7.8 or 8.0 on average, towing or not. We just purchased a 2015 Fleetwood Bounder and coming home from Fl, new, I had a low of 5.4 and a high of 8.9, average of 7.1. I hope when it has a few miles it will improve. It is a brick on wheels so enjoy the ride.
