I understood your comment. Just implying that the Brave could get OK mileage if driven slowly because the gearing is high for a motorhome.
I then added my assumption that if the V10 engine can push that brick through the air, the similar V10 in Axis/Vegas would likely need even taller gearing to optimize fuel economy. Or perhaps rely on the standard 5.4L V8 instead of the optional 6.8L V10.
When Axis/Vegas first came out with claims of up to 12 MPG, I questioned if that was with V8. I was told by Thor that V8 was not considered because Ford was expected to phase it out of production earlier than the V10.
