That's pretty bad haha For our trip from BC to Moab, driving around in 4low for 4 days and driving back home, the total trip we spent about the same. Although that's on 35s with 3.21 gearing, we still did a fair amount of driving/idling.

And with gas being so cheap in the States, that's even worse to spend that much in 2 days. That's almost as bad as my 1ton with 454 engine!! We do love traveling in the states though due to the fact gas is sooo cheap. We can drive all over for days on end and be happy. Up here it's just depressing lol

Yup - same here for BC to Moab last year. My wife freaked after she saw the gas receipts on the credit card!

But it was worth it
