Default 1st Road Trip, Gas Mileage Update 3.5 Eco

Took a road trip to the Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas. 15' KR SCREW 3.5 Eco. 3.5 hours there one way. I was able to get 18.8 mpg round trip. That includes about an hour of idling with the AC on due to hot as hell and was camping. Think it would have gotten 19 without that. That's with cruise set at 78 on interstate and 65 on hwy back roads. It was about half and half on distance of interstate vs hwy

What gears are you running.

Just you or multiple passengers, any gear in the truck or bed?

Sorry, 3.31 gears, FX4, 20" rims with the all terrain Kevlar tires. Had the bed loaded with gear for digging dirt, coolers and camping equipment. Had two boys with me for passengers, they both weigh about 60lbs each. I think that about covers it. Oh, 2500 miles on the truck when I started the trip and AC on the entire way.
