I would not want the fuel burn of an RV.

Rod - out of interest, what figures are you using for an RV?

I see the SC seems to quote ~105K? 110K? on 17-18L/hr? I have "cruised" our RV-8 on ~16L/hr, and got over 100K. At 21l/hr, it is 125K.

These are of course not typical RV figures, after all, who has the willpower to cruise one in such a way

However, if the figures above are correct for the SC, an RV-9 (more designed for fuel efficiency than our 8) might wel better it?

Meanwhile, I am happier at 33L for 150K for normal cruise, and max 187K when someone else is paying
