Has anyone cataloged their offroad MPG, entirely on dirt, especially in 4LO?
I just did a ~25mi run, with 80% in 4LO, and I don't know how much to trust the EVIC. I watched the number drop from 17.7 at the 5mi mark, to 15.6 about 20mi in. Unfortunately, I did not think to reset my average or timer at the trail start.
The fuel level gauge is also completely non-linear in its readout so that's of limited use. Seems to clear 1/2 of the tank in 1/3 the distance (the easy third, no less).
I am trying to plan a backcountry excursion which is currently at 340mi (if I can stop adding waypoints) from gas station to gas station. If I conservatively assume 15mpg the whole way, with 18gal tank and two 5gal cans, I am looking at 420mi of range. Realistically, at least half of this should be in HI gear so I think I could probably expect more.
Would love some real numbers if anyone has them. Otherwise I will just have to do some "homework" on the trail. *appearing sad and trying not to smile*
