My Jeep and trailer get about 12 to 13 MPG averaging about 65, but right when the tires leave the pavement it drops to between 7 and 10 MPG
What's your MPG (fuel economy) on the road.

We got 16.7 MPG average on our recent 6000 mile cross-country wanderings. This included quite a bit of interstate, lots of state and county roads, and less than 100 miles of gravel.
I have an average of 17.0 over the 20,300 miles I've owned the 4Runner, according to Fuelly.

21.5 highway 60 to 70 in a 2012 jku in stock config with auto.
My 4 banger taco did 19 in town and 21 hiway.
there are things you can do with the flip of a switch in the r1g to get better mpg.

NICE! is that in Jade with all the gear on top? I have been looking to try and boost it a bit by upgrading to a roof rack with a decent deflector to try to move that airflow over the top of the bins that sit up 16" off the top. Im sure you know as well as I that in a heavy headwind they drag pretty hard.
Yes, I carry 4 bins on top of Jade which are 14" high. I have the Garvin Industries Expedition roof rack that had a deflector but had to remove it due to the length of the bins. Although there's some drag, I typically take the back roads vs the interstates.

21.3 mpg over the last 2,000 miles from coast of Maine to here in Durant OK, with a couple little detours, though mostly all highway miles. 6.6 diesel, fully loaded long wheelbase cargo van, nothing on the roof. Grabbing the XV-2 tomorrow, then doing several thousand more miles, so will be interesting to see how that affects things mileage-wise.

That's with the tent mounted? Pretty impressive. I just added some frontrunner slimline II's to my '16 Tacoma. went from 19.5 to 16-17, and that's with an empty rack.

I went with larger, but skinnier tires. Stock was Goodyear Wranglers, which were designed primarily for road. Switched to a skinny BFG KO2, which was 1" larger in diameter, but 1" skinnier. No hit in MPG at all. If anything, it went up a tick. Then I added a Frontrunner rack and dropped 2-3MPG.
What is that "fuel economy" thing kids speak of on the internets? [emoji48]

Fuel mileage stayed the same after taking off my tent. But my gas mileage dropped to 17-18 mpg with the trailer. I averaged about 62 mph on the freeway.

If you fill up when the tank is half-empty it'll feel like a bargain at the pump. [emoji23]
