Here are my guestimates..
Loaded 11.5 ~ 16 hwy
Un-Loaded 12.5 ~ 16 hwy
Loaded __ not sure city
un-loaded 12 ~ 15 city
Avg loaded > I'm happy to see 13+ > more then likely 12.
Avg un-loaded > I'm lucky to see anything more then above.
Cold weather is rough on all these estimates!
Getting stuck in heavy traffic.. ditto.
Vermont hills don't help the numbers.
Duals in summer hurt the numbers. Heavy sneakers?
Duals in winter are worse. Heavy boots?
Tranny lockup mechanism would help. This is where manual trannies work well.
Finals and terrain dictate engine torque and fuel numbers among other things.
Best deal you can look foward too > an engine/tranny combo that never breaks down!! Needless to say > Buy an extended warranty..
Happy Campin'
