I got 14 to 17MPG with my Envoy pulling the 3326 TM at 65 MPH a year ago. That was from Indiana and on West to the Rockies. The difference was definitely related to headwind and we had one most of the way.

My truck was getting 22 MPG at 75 MPH East of the Rockies going to pick the TM up.

Since returning to Az, our milage is more like 14 or 14.5 all of the time. We still drive 65, but now we are doing a lot of climbing. We only camp in the mountains at 6000 or 7000 feet altitude in the summer and that can be expected. There is never a nice slope to altitude (unlike a trip by airplane

), but lots of up-and-down driving

that consumes extra gas. Heavy pulling on the upside and downshifting on the downside.
