i still joyride some, but nowhere near what i used to. i just catch a dirt road and coast around for an hour or 2. never really went over 30 mph.
back when i lived near some mountains, i'd take my "trail rig" (bronco 2) up and down old, unmaintained, former county roads. i'd drive for 3-4 hours straight in 4x4 low range and almost never touch the gas petal. just idle along. stop for a lunch break and a short hike, then drive back down. never calculated my mileage, but i didn't use hardly any gas.
crap, now you have me reminiscing...........
