return trip from DC yesterday....520 miles one way. On way there last week I averaged about 16-17 mpg running 70-75 with ac second part of way...this had rpms around 2000-2100rpms.

on way back yesterday ran 68mph-69mph entire way...no ac....rpms kept at or below 2000rpms. Avg mpg was 18.2

I now have about 2600 miles on FJC so going to do another trip when she goes over 5000 and see what happens....guessing it will improve more as she is broken in.

Tires- 295x70x17 Nitto TG...45 lbs of pressure all four corners
Bumpers- stock
Armor- rock sliders only from BudBuilt
Gas- 93 octane the entire way using cruise control 99% of trip.
