Currently have the 450 albeit on a 31 ft. Handling is much better. AND I tow a toad with power to spare climbing grades AND I get 12 mpg.
I suppose I could say that our ScannGauge-II says we get near 14 mpg when conditions are ideal. But my mpg numbers stated a few replies up, are trip averaging from the time we leave home, to the time we return home. I consider combined city, mountain, canyon, highway, park sightseeing, everything experienced throughout our trips from the Chicago area out to our national parks and back home.
And it seems that Murphy always has his way with us providing a significant headwind when heading west to our destinations, and also east when it's time to get back home.
