Thought I would add high and low.

High 100% highway 20.6
Low mostly in town 13.7

Low 8.7 (all off road) </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
hey ket good #'s are you running a hi psi ? I run mine on highway at 38-40 psi . got 21.4 coming back on 150 mile run 62mph -65mph just cruisen averaging 17 in town . tire rating is 50 psi [on sidewall] so before everyone slams hi psi's , tires will wear even . 38-40 psi will ride stiffer and a little more floaty over 75 mph , but if your commuting like i do and dont mind cruisen 65 its worth an extra 5 mpg and mine is an automatic . i have over 6k in miles now so well broken in also . I havent computed my offroad at 20 psi yet </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

The 20.6 was coming back to Phoenix from Ouray which ==== mostly downhill. I had the cruise on at about 70 and the tires at 35psi. Anyway you look at it the average is 15.3 which I don't consider bad. As a side note: Yesterday I passed a family in a Prius. Mom steering, kids in the back and Dad pushing.... Out of GAS!!! Funniest thing I've seem in weeks. I just wish I had a camera. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

You mean to tell me that a Toyota Pious doesn't go forever on a tank of gas and batteries?
