maybe zoidberg? trip mileage

300 miles with about 1000 lbs load at elevation and over hill and dale. also with AT tires and not the smooth rollin tires. i feel pretty good about that. granted it’s probably closer to 18 mpg but given that the epa only rates it at 18 highway, and given the variables.... not bad at all

That’s excellent for hauling a load. Its an automatic I’m guessing? We’re you just driving normal or were you trying to hyper-mile a bit.

So only 2-3 worse MPGs than my significantly smaller and less capable Paseo?

well, when i say load i mean onboard, not towing and no i was not hypermiling. cruise set to 80 with the climate control to auto. climbed from 3000 feet to 5500 with at least 3 7000 foot passes in between.

Oh ok, well still respectable numbers. Now to see if you can get your 300 mile average up past 20mpg

going the other way i can just kiss 20 mpg. it’s not much but given that it’s a 5000 lb brick with full time 4wd and a v8... not bad

When we had a Suzuki SX4 there were a couple times where we got 19 MPG. I’ve gotten better than that in my Ram ProMaster.

This is what I usually get on long hauls on I15.  a damn site better than the 13.5 I get in the 80 pretty much everywhere.

Wow, that beats me, although I’ve yet to really road trip. I probably average 18 or so with an 80/20 Hwy/city split.

We are about to take Mum’s camper for a tow behind the Patrol...if we get better than 14 mpg I’ll be ecstatic!

I’m averaging about double that or a bit more in my Fit.

i had a rental for a day (review coming) doing likewise. but when your daily gets 13.5, 19.2 feels like a million.

I’ve found my GX trip computer is about 2 MPGs over ambitious :(
