So we did another trip, again with the Aspen, just to Yellowstone and back. We went 464.9 miles and used 32.173 gallons for an average 14.45 MPG. There was also 100 miles in there of heavy rain which must hurt MPG and somewhere in the last 120 miles we blew a bearing on the rear trailer axle. They might have happened in conjunction with each other, the rain and the failure. Before that last 100 miles the indicated was 15.7 on the 170 miles we had put on it since refilling, even higher before having to cross the continental divide in a place you have to engine and friction brake all the way back down. Now to replace all 4 wheel hubs and bearings just to be safe, It's a 1993 and everything is probably original.
