What kind of fuel consumption will my RV have?


Consommation d'essence RV Fuel consumption can vary significantly from one RV model to another. 

The consumption of each model is indicated on its technical specifications sheet on Authentik USA's  RV rental platform

Average consumption will be between 12 and 30 litres per 100 kilometres. Naturally, the larger the vehicle, the higher the fuel consumption.

 

CALCULATING YOUR GAS BUDGET

If the price of gas is $0.75 per litre and you drive 2,000 kilometres during your trip, your gas budget will look like this:

  • Consumption of 15 L / 100 km: 15 L x (2000 km / 100 km) x $0.75 = $225
  • Consumption of 20 L / 100 km: 20 L x (2000 km / 100 km) x $0.75 = $300
  • Consumption of 25 L / 100 km: 25 L x (2000 km / 100 km) x $0.75 = $375
  • Consumption of 30 L / 100 km: 30 L x (2000 km / 100 km) x $0.75 = $450

Important: Note that gas prices are always indicated in gallons in the U.S., and that there are 3.8 litres in 1 gallon. If the price of gas is $2.50 per gallon, that makes $0.66 per litre ($2.50 / 3.8 litres). Don't forget to do the conversion before calculating your budget.

Note: The fuel consumption indicated in the RV technical specifications sheets is that of the manufacturer and represents the lowest consumption calculated under ideal conditions (highway driving at optimum speed, no wind, etc.). It's a good idea to add 3 to 5 litres per 100 kilometres when calculating your fuel budget to compensate for actual (non-ideal) driving conditions.
