Wondering what’s the gas mileage of a motorhome?
Bad news, folks. RVs are exempt from EPA fuel economy ratings.
Every passenger car and light truck sold in America has a fuel economy rating. When you stroll past new cars at the dealership, you’ll see a sticker like this:
What’s Not On This List
- Turn off the air conditioning. Yes, turning off the air conditioning saves fuel, but honestly, who listens to this advice? No one. Absolutely no one. Especially when it’s over 80 degrees outside.
- Pack light. A few hundred pounds of weight in most RV isn’t going to impact your fuel efficiency. Don’t sweat the small stuff.
- Install a fuel economy chip. Installing an aftermarket engine performance chip will usually void the manufacturer’s warranty, which can easily cost far more than you’ll save in gas prices.
