22.5 MPG achieved !!!!!
Supercharged with 285's and 22.5 MPG. I am pretty amazed...
Drove up to Crater lake 300 miles round trip. Went from 700 ft elevation to 8000ft and back. Tried to keep it around 60 miles per hour except when passing slow people..I even nailed the throttle a few times cause its hard not too..Plus I was loaded with a bunch of camping gear..Any way just thought I would share the good news..
And there was a really nice sunset too..

Part of that is you aren't really on the accelerator on the way down;my MPGs seem pretty crappy for the first half the tank up to the Divide (I-70) but then it really improves on the other side but you still got me by over 1mpg.

mad photo skills- and that's coming from someone who has NO idea what he's talking about they look great- and anything over 22mpg on 285s is tough to do, i'm sure- tough to get on 265/75s!
