Purely for data point sake...definitely a flyer
30" 265/70 16s and maybe 120# in the back,
45mi, 2-way (90mi total, N/S), flat-ground run
@65mph on interstate
@5500ft
on 88 non-eth
in 95deg ambient
gets repeatable 18.5mpg.
Calculations were made using the stock odo, phone gps, and refuel amount at the same pump before and after. edit: oh and compensation for tire size to 285/75 ~2.6% to adjust odo mileage.
Can't repeat it now w/o unloading 600#.
Plus it's irrelevant with a load-out of anything significant, so most of us are happy with 11-13mpg.
On the trail it's gph.
And with some luck I can get 24hrs run time on a single tank - which is usually about 125mi.
