I guess 12 MPG may be possible if you could drive slow enough and with little load, but that's not practical for most of us on an "average" basis. Not that the difference between 10, 12, or even 14 MPG is a deal breaker for me because the difference in fuel cost isn't that great compared to all other costs. Particularly when we only drive between 5,000 and 10,000 miles per year at most.

Fuel efficiency is not the main reason I want a smaller motorhome, although obviously I'll take as much as I can get, everything else being equal.

In my opinion to have any chance at 14 MPG on gasoline the motorhome would have to be downsized a little more than an Axis/Vegas. A European size Class A like I'm looking for may get to 14 if speed is kept down.
