    I've only gone a couple tanks but so far my mileage is at worst the same as my 265/75R16 ATs. Last tank was better. I didn't watch it too much before but I'm pretty sure I never got over 17 and I had 17.2 last tank with the pizza cutters. I think it's going to depend on your driving. A lot of highway and you'll gain MPG, a lot of city and you'll lose.

    I would say that's true of any MT, and especially skinny ones.

    Embassy II, got it from Sam's club for $200 with sides and bag. Best deal out there for a canopy IMO. This model is sturdy as hell, aluminum frame, and all the accessories.

    Gotta check in store. I got mine 5 years ago though, so it may have a different name now. Although I think this one was a proprietary Sam's Club model which is basically a clone of one of their better models with a different name.

    My old one was $199.00 and apparently it is no longer in production. It had a steel frame with a 400 weight top. That one lasted me 10 years.

    That's an Embassy II and while they are still for sale they are discontinued and so are many of their parts kits. http://www.ezupdirect.com/shelter-parts/embassy2.php

    I'm looking for one like I had previously. My old one was the original Encore I believe and I hunted around for almost a year before buying it.

    Here is a cheaper version of what I have for $147 http://www.kmart.com/shc/s/p_10151_...1&srccode=cii_17588969&cpncode=26-131712003-2

    Sides are a PITA to use anyway. In the 10 years I have had mine I never used the sides camping.....to many wind issues.

    When I go camping and need sides I just used 10' x 10' camo tarps with grommets I got from Walmart for $2.99 then zip tied them to the frame and ran cords staked into the ground for added sqft of space and to keep the Ez-up from flying away. This also helps keep the puddles from where your walking keeping your space dry.

    In my region camouflage is always cheaper from tarps to ratchet straps. Guess demand is low :notsure:

    In rural areas where people actually hunt and stuff they are more expensive.
