Of course in our hands it would probably do better, but still, I wasn't impressed with those reports as a "baseline".

10-14 can be had with the full-sized American V8 units

So I went with the Sable wagon. Mid 20's, through the mountains. I can hardly wait to see what it does on the flats...
It may not seem intuitive at first but the AT 6's were much worse. They let folks drive harder not smarter. The slush box made it worse. You also have to consider the source. RVers fall into one of two camps: make time on the road; or take time to enjoy the road.
