Double your gas mileage!!

I got similar mileage around Moab. When I filled up when I reached Moab I got my best tank of the trip @ 20 MPG. For the 150 miles total I drove while in Moab and on the trails I got a whopping 7 MPG.

Wow! That's ESPECIALLY impressive considering your bigazz lift and bigazz tires!

Smiles per gallon however, were the best I've ever gotten and that's what counts in Moab!

Darn right - I now understand that!

LOL, I have never check mpg on the trail...

That's because you're not nuts. I wouldn't have known my trail mileage but I was curious about my highway mileage on my trip there so I kept tracking it. I refilled the tank every evening and kept obsessively keeping records or I would never have known what my mileage would have been while creeping, idling, waiting, etc.

Knowing how notoriously un-accurate our fuel gauges are, I wouldn't get all excited until you fill up to confirm the usage.
PK

True dat. All my calculations were based on odometer & full-tank to full-tank readings so I'm confident my math is right!

WHAT? Dude, I have the best MPG, am at 200,037,483,628,387,464 MPG as we speak, and thats not even h/way miles, don't get me started there.

My runner would be somewhere around 15 mpg if it was an auto

But.... a picture is worth a thousand words

Now we're getting somewhere...

if you would kindly post a picture of your mileage, you can save yourself a lot of typing in the future......

Yeah, but unfortunately I didn't get that good the rest of the trip. Got that one lucky tank of 20 MPG, one more of 18 MPG and the other 6-7 were all at 16 MPG. That's with accounting for the bigger tires in my maths.

Also had the TOD turned off the whole way home, didn't seem to make any difference mileage wise. Although that's not all that surprising considering I was cruising at highway speeds all day.

I would hate to see what I'd be getting with an auto. I would love to find a 6-speed that would work. Have a nice low 1st gear for crawling and a long 6th gear for cruising.
