Re: awesome mileage on dirt roads!

This is not all that surprising to me. Good gas miliage is a result of driving that is careful to provide gentle acceleration and minimal breaking. Keeping the RPMs low relative to speed is very helpful. We tend to drive more gently and carefully on unpaved roads so improved miliage is not a surprise. I get my best miliage just cruising along at 55 mph in the highest gear.
