Dremd, I just did a big interstate highway trip with passengers, luggage, AC on and the Scanguage says I got 55 mpg and averaged 57 mph for 250 miles and max speed of 95 yesterday! I did some steady interstate cruising at 75-80. I filled up part way through the vacation and got 55 for the tank so I think the Scanguage is pretty close. I just installed a coroplast belly pan and took photos so I will try to start a post soon. Seat-of-the-pants-ometer shows better coasting and perhaps better instant mpg. I hear you about nagging passengers. My wife was really ready to be home yesterday. I need taller gears!
