I've driven around all 4 states around me and made one trip to Indiana. I consistently run 65 MPH on cruise at 2200 RPM...the power is enough to keep it there. It's not downshifted one single time and drops only 1 MPH on the steepest hills and average fuel economy is 11.8 over about 8,000 miles. I did play around once with it, resetting while moving along and tested it at 70 and 75 on flat ground. It dropped below 10 quickly an I could feel a huge difference in wind resistance. I don't have a lot of stuff packed away in the bays so the weight isn't near the max. I've seen some coaches at campgrounds, etc. packed to the max with everything they own, which makes a huge difference in mileage, especially if you drive a lot in mountains. We will set sail this summer for the adventures of the West. I'll get a much truer test of mileage then.
