    This week we traveled up to Lincoln NH. Some highway driving but mostly secondary, hilly, mountainous and cuvrey roads and we climbed Mt Washington. My truck is a 2107 Sport AC AT with very few mods and my wife and I and our luggage were the load. I did drive on the slow side. It had 18xx miles at the start, we traveled 817 miles and used a total of 34.9 gallons of gas for an average of 23.4mpg. The truck computer stated 22.3,23.1 and 24.7 mpg for each fill up. Since the miles varied for each fill up I don't know how to average what the truck computer showed. My calculation for each fill up was in fact higher than what the truck stated.

    I really enjoyed driving the truck. It did down shift hard to keep the correct speed when the cruise control was set to 45. I can't reach over my shoulder and pull the seat belt w/o it locking. I can't seam to open the doors w/o chimes going off. The navigation works well but has a hard time understanding me. I was concerned that the seats were hard but I was comfortable the whole time. Spotify is great in the woods when you can't get satellite service.
    It's a great truck to travel in and we look forward to many other trips.
