I'm sure his are better but you should be well into the mid to high teens on MPG.
I heard a nasty rumor that you have to reserve campsites at Toroweep now.
We did not make it over due to mud and fuel concerns, but our last trip on the Arizona Strip was terrific!
Well just to make it clear...
We have put on maybe 10 miles and still have a ton of work to do before Nick will let this project go home. I think he has grown emotionally attached to my blue truck and burb and has separation anxiety

I will actually track my mpg for a while, normally I don't care but it will be fun to figure out the cost to benefit ratio.
