MPG mountain driving w/285's

Usually get 17-18.

Had a 60 mile round trip in the mountains today and got 20 mpg.

285's

 

You start at the top of the mountain?

 

That's funny.

Not a tremendous amount of climbing. I think the main contributor is an average speed under 55.

Higher speeds are what really kills our mileage.

 

I had no agenda with this thread, I just thought it would be fun to post.

 

I never got more than 14 to 15 miles per gallon in Colorado for almost 7 years.

The high elevation destroys your power and economy.

 

Yeah, but the scenery is usually worth it
