Camping Camper

Question:

Our ‘95 DX does about the same, 40-42 on long trips (5,500 on one trip this summer, with AC on, averaged 41 with lots of mountain travel). THis was driving at 75-80 mph (Montana/Dakotas mostly) with two adults and a full car of camping gear. We get about 36-37 in town.  Sometimes I’d rather be driving our truck, but doubling the gas mileage makes up for the inconvenience. -drl >I had a Honda Civic Dx that would regularly get 40-44 mpg on long trips, >this was with a lead foot. >However, one time on a long trip I stayed at 55 mph, and slowed down up >hills >by not increasing pressure on the gas pedal, and got 55 miles /gallon.

Response:

I had a Honda Civic Dx that would regularly get 40-44 mpg on long trips, this was with a lead foot. However, one time on a long trip I stayed at 55 mph, and slowed down up hills by not increasing pressure on the gas pedal, and got 55 miles /gallon.
