Thanks Mateo, that about the same or better than I get. If you ran genset that's even better. Nice that you didn't encounter any over $4 also!

Good catch. Probably two gallons at most(four hours running time) which would equate to approxomately two hundredths of a mile per gallon. We had electical hookups in all locations and the only time we really had the generator running was going up hills such as the Grape Vine and Baker Hill and when parked in the lot when I was checking in to our places. We run a converter for the TV when driving.

I said it before in this thread and I'll say it again. Get the GasBuddy App. Prevented many costly mistakes when it came to getting fuel. It felt like I had a headwind the entire trip. There were monsoons coming from the East when I was travelling East which brought an unneeded head wind where one usually wouldn't exist. This would generally be the opposite which would increase mileage.

And is all of Utah uphill? Both ways? And another fyi.....Utah's lowest octane is 85, not 87 like everywhere else! Gotta watch out for that!

Great thread and pics! Only 2.5 miles off on the title.:thumb:

Classic!! How did you get that pic of me and the Mrs?
