Just came home from an eight day trip to Yellowstone and the Black Hills with my wife's 08 Toyota Seinna van. This was our first trip with it so I kept close records of the gas mileage, cost, etc. We were pretty much fully loaded with three granddaughters, my wife, me, and a 6'X32" roof top luggage carrier filled to the hilt. We drove 2517 miles.
What surprised me was the van got the same mileage no matter how we drove or where we drove, 22.5 MPG, give or take a few tenths. Every time we filled up, that's what the mileage was. It didn't matter whether we were cruising across the plains of Nebraska or the hairpin turns and steep grades of the Rockies.
Seems to me the mileage would be bad in the mountains and better on the flat, but that wasn't what we saw. Anyone else have a similar story, or least an explanation? I always used the middle grade of gas, but the gas companies were never the same. Jim
