Why RMS velocity is more appropriate in calculating the kinetic energy of gas?

RMS velocity is more appropriate than mass velocity in calculating the kinetic energy of gas. This is because RMS velocity can be used calculate the kinetic energy of gas whereas mass velocity cannot be used to calculate kinetic energy directly. 

Moreover, kinetic energy calculated from RMS velocity is accurate.
