Unless you really want to spend 10 minutes to find out, here's the money shot:

So there you go 26 MPG, 430 miles of effective highway cruising range (@33F and heating interior @73F)

EDIT: Flat terrain @72MPH

Does it mention what type of highway travel, elevation and speed ?

Good thats what I told my wife!

Still double what we get now on a good day. That should make our $450 car payment feel like $300-325.

That is the highway MPG I have been getting.

So the combination of the 1" lift, all terrain tires, tapered bumper kills the aerodynamics to that extent? Can't be the rear diff, becuase that would not come into play in steady highway driving.

Pretty alright to see but a little more real world would be with some additional payload.

I saw my first Tremor out in the wild in Ann Arbor, MI this past weekend. It was a Cactus Gray XLT Tremor and my brother almost shit his pants I got so excited,

"Ooooh. Look at that Maaaaavvvvvaa...IT'S A TREMOR. THAT'S A CACTUS GRAY TREMOR BRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I've been in a real negative rut with my Maverick ordeal lately but seeing it out in the wild MAN it looked SO good!!!

It also probably weighs more. Alot of the people getting 30+ out of their Maverick are driving it super conservatively and at lower speeds. I would ask these guys to run the test again but with a max speed of 60mph and an average of 50 mph or so. I think it would climb significantly.

I know everyone says thats too slow and they drive 80 all the time but, even the hybrids dont do as well at those speeds. Its just physics. Me I live on an island that has a max speed limit of 55 mph. Sure I go 60 or 70 for very short downhills or whatnot but my average speed is gonna be right there at 45mph. which should be the sweet spot. I think our regular average combined mpg will be right around 25mpg. with where and how we drive.

I definitely won't get driving that conservatively but I would expect to see low 20s combined for me while normal driving (70/30 city/hwy) with speeds up to 80mph during those hwy miles.

The heater has nothing to do with the mpg, unless it’s a hybrid.
