We are still contemplating down sizing to a Class C. Have been looking around at different ones, However can't seem to find out the true gas mileage for the Class C's. Due to me getting older and the price of gas and also that we don't go as much any more, we thought a Class C would really be great. Some of the sales people don't seem to really know what the MPG for the Chevy gasoline motors are. So I figured the best place to get some good comments were right here on this site. We now have a Class A 36 " 3 slides 8.1 Chevy. We get about 7 mpg with Jeep toad. With a Class C 30' or so what kind of gas mileage can I expect?? Thanks

I have a 2000,28ft C on a E450 chassis and I get approx. 13-14 MPG on reg pump gas. I do not tow anything so those that do most likely would not get that much. I did replace my stock air cleaner with a K&N as soon as I got it home, and it seems to have made a difference in my motorhome. I take it over the mountains from Alberta into B.C so my route is always the same and my milage stays between 13-14 MPG. All I can say is to try to make the engine breath easier and do the speed limit and you should get reasonable MPG's.

Are you sure your metric to miles conversion is correct? Most owners of rigs like yours report 8-10 mpg. I get 7.5-9. My 6.0 Chevy pickup can barely get 13-14.
