I forgot about this thread.

Using the built in mpg gauge, we averaged 19.9 mpg. This includes using 4x4 to drive around one day during our stay. They ended up having a "snow emergency" which made driving more difficult. They didn't even get that much snow they apparently lack the equipment to clear the roads in a timely manner. We came home a day or so after the blizzard (it was less than 4" of snow) and most of the roads were not plowed down to the surface. I guess I take snow plowing for granted living in Michigan.

As far as load range, I wonder if the higher load range tires get as good or better mpg because of the stiffer sidewall?
