I agree with fstop about the room between the gas and brake pedal. Mileage is such a subjective thing, but Cedar Butte I agree with you, it's the hilly driving at 70 mph that eats the mileage. I saw as high as 19.6 mpg on the H3 in the Yukon, windows up, no AC running about 65 mph in the frozen tundra, and 14 mpg in the mountainous/high traffic area climbing out of Banff.
In our 8 weeks on the road there was only one incident in Nebraska of a tree hugger talking to us in a gas station about our gas eater. He refused to believe it got around 18 mpg - they have their agenda and you're not going to sway them. I found in Alberta and the Yukon, what the capabilities of the H3 are dominate any conversation, to the point mpg is rarely discussed. My favorite was outside of Dawson City, where "Big Bob" of Bob's Service Station Hardware, Grocery and Heating asked me if I wanted to use my government charge, because he thought I was in a " new fangled government military vehicle " (my shadow green threw him). A great guy in the true Yukon fashion who I could write a whole page on
