And 8 is actually doing quite well, I have to keep the speed to about 60, less with a headwind to do that.
I drove an almost identical vehicle that belonged to one of my sales reps to Albuquerque and back and averaged a little over 8 as I recall. He was 4 feet longer but he also had a Bank's power pack on it. You're considerably heavier taller and wider than the Aero RV, and you're gas powered, so I'd say that's about right mileage-wise. It would be interesting to see what a boat tail would do for it.
