It it weren't for hauling stuff, my average would significantly higher, but that's the whole reason I have a truck...
Same here. Feel stupid for hauling mulch in 94F and 74%H; each bit shoveled three times. But soil fertility/tilth and water-use won't start to change without sweat equity. The number of miles roundtrip is the only "expense". MPG doesn't mean too much on short-lived jobs. That's what careful planning/driving is for the rest of the time.
