Yes, it is def not ideal, to say the least. I know slowing down would help. The good news is when i am loaded i dont have to watch all the idiots fly up and almost eat my hind portions. I honestly don't even know what the thing does fuel wise, i need to check it. One thing that really hurts it is LOTS of idle time. When I am loading or unloading it is running. Gotta keep the batteries charged up to power the 12k lb winch, it can sure zap them in a hurry. Of course you have also extended warm up times in winter, cool down in summer. It really is an mpg nightmare.
