Pam, I recommend that you buy a Class A coach over a Class C coach. I've owned both and the A's are way better to drive (steer easier), you have better eye sight (sit higher) and they are stronger built (bigger frame). I own a 35' Winnebago and I average 7.5 miles per gallon. Happy Trails

There is a coach like mine for sale in Florida....I know the coach. It was owned by a close friend of mine. A gas pusher. Quiet as a DP but operates like a gasser because it is one.

I used to have a 36'gasoline coach with the V-10 Ford engine. It is a very good engine. I would get around 8 to 9 mpg.

On a 2007myou will get the 6 speed transmission with the 8.1 motor. I have the 5 speed and must drive a little slower than some of the others here. I usually am a little over 8 mpg. I travel at 62 mph because that is the most economical for me. I don't know what it would be without a toad because I have never travelled that way. If I get up to 70 mph I can drop the mpg considerably.
