400 Miles On The Backroads
This past Sunday, I did a quick 400 mile trip thru north Alabama into and down to central Georgia. No interstate. All the roads were curvy and hilly with the posted speed of 55mph.
I am still very impressed with this comfortable truck. Eight hours in the seat and about four hours in the country darkness. I arrived home feeling rested and like I’d only been riding for a few miles.
Below is my mpg. The meter reads one mpg high. I have very heavy 34” tires with a front level. I can’t complain.
I really like my truck!
Pecked out on my iPhone.

I did a similar trip several weeks ago down to my camp, just shy of 200 miles, hilly curvy SE Ohio roads. Averaged 26.3 (corrected to 25.9 actual). This 2.7/10AT truck has been about 2 mpg's better on average than my 2.7/6AT truck. Couldn't be happier with it.
