These averages were compiled from measurements on EVERY tank full. The city mileage is "Illi- nois country-city", i.e. 10 miles each way to work with some 55 mph and about eight stop lights and/or stop signs along the way. Camping mileage implies mostly highway driving pulling a 1000 lb (gross) trailer with two adults and two small children in the car. Mileage ranges include worst cold-weather driving.
