1,800 mile trip...
We have returned from an 1,800 mile trip through flatlands, hills, and mountains. 8 people of various sizes and ages on board, plus luggage (limited to one bag / person).
Our MPG average was 17.5. This going was at cruise set speed of approx. 76 MPH...average about 18.8. Coming back we pushed a bit harder...80 - 82. The extra push made quite a difference in the overall trip mileage. I couldn't be more please.
When I budgeted the trip gas I rated the MPG @ 15 due to the extra rate.
The best I could ever get out of the '07 'Burb was 16.5.

I limited everyone to one soft bag. Which was difficult, at best, with (3) 16 year old girls, (4) adults, and (1) 3 year old. Luckily all complied, even though the 16 year old's bags all weighed about 50 pounds each....
All the bags fit behind the third seat with room for a few more, actually. Remember, I have an EL.
