Wifey and I drive it between our houses in SLC and Las Vegas. We fill It up with diesel in SLC, drive it to Las Vegas, and then fill it up a second time in Cedar City on the way home. Keeping the cruise control at 80 MPG, it gets 31 MPG - and 682 miles per 22-gallon tank. And, that's in real-world math, simply dividing miles by gallons of fuel used. The thing has little HP (about 160) but major torque (about 360 ft lbs). It does not downshift, even on the steepest canyons.
