my 2006 Sprinter 158" motor home, with over 45000 miles average mpg is 19.1. The average per tank, changes with speed, wind, and hills. But the total equals to 19.1. I'm not impressed by cost per mile with maintenance for a Sprinter.

I have a 2007 RS Adventurous and have 17,000 miles on her. Consistently get 22-24 mpg driving whatever the speed limit is. This is the same mileage I get with my Subaru Forester, which is considerably smaller. The MB diesel is wonderful, plenty of power and good mpg.

Isn't the 2007 RS built on a 2006 chassis with the I-5 engine? The I-5 is a wonderful engine. The V-6 is less so.

Checked the mpg on my new 2007 Roadtrek SS Agile today and got 24 mpg! So far I've just been using it around town on short trips getting used to it. I'm really pleased--I like this RT more every day.

I'm waiting for a lot of reports from people who have the new 07 chassis with v-6 engine to start reporting their fuel mileage. I could imagine that a 07 Agile built on an 06 chassis with the 1-5 engine could reach 24 mpg.

And, I'll echo this. Very pleased with everything about my '07 RT RS, especially the mileage.

My 2007 RS Adventurous consistently get 21-24 mpg on trips from New York to Florida, or anywhere else I go.
