C 13 fuel mileage ?

Yahoo Message Number: 87585
Can any one tell me what kind of fuel mileage I should expect on a 2007 Intrigue 42 ft /Tag axel, with a C13 cat ?

We get about 5.5 mpg in CA when we are towing and about 6 when not towing. But outside of CA we get from 7-8 mpg. We got 7.5 from CA to New Orleans taking a northerly route through New Mexico and 8 coming home flying down I10 on a southern route. Going there were seven coaches and we were stopping every couple of hours for somebody but coming home there was just two us and we didn't stop until we got to the end of that days run.
In CA it seems like I am in 5th gear most the time but once I get into another state and can speed up to about 70 it hums along nice in 6th gear eating the miles. Some of the people we run with like to go faster but it just isn't fun anymore.
Legally in CA even on I5 you are limited to 55 mph the nice highway patrolman informed me. At 55 the Silver leaf says I am getting 6 or 7. But at 70 the silver leaf says I am getting 10 or 11 mpg. Of course when I fill up and compute the mileage it just doesn't equal what the silver leaf says.
Of course I am using the hydro hot and generator which also uses diesel. My friends have nice coaches two are Marathons and we still stay in a lot of Walmart parking lots

I've gotten 7.5 MPG (engine consumption only, Silverleaf tells me so) over the last 30,000 mi. with a toad. I go 62, use Econo Mode, try to keep it in 6th as much as possible.

I get 5.6 to 5.9 on mine. I go 58 (any slower and it won't shift into 6th). I also use econo mode when I can.
