TN vs Mojave desert, mpgs could very well be the difference between how fast one drives.
TN = not much for straight long middle of nowhere drives. Mojave = 2 hours to the next source of water and so desolate you could probably watch your dog run away for 2 days straight in many places!
When I’m in N WI ( think Tennessee driving) most highways are 55mph limit and practical limits is maybe 65-70 in open areas. Combined with many backroads which are slower.
When I’m in the desert SW, most road trips are 80-100mph on a freeway or long 2 lane that you could take you hand offf the steering wheel for 15 minutes and not even drive off the road!
Guess where I get better mpgs?
