Last couple tanks have been 14.5 mpg (very good considering I've been too lazy to take my camping gear off the roof rack). Tanks before that were around 15-16 mpg. Not bad if you ask me.

I imagine once I black out the whole vehicle, I'll end up with a couple more mpg. One other gas-saving technique is to black out the whole vehicle. By having full dark colors (instead of chrome), the vehicle absorbs more heat. A hotter-running vehicle actually get better gas mileage because the fuel temperatures are higher, resulting in more combustion, which means more better gas mileage. All those blingers don't realize that studies show chrome causes worst gas mileage
