Trac did great and I got 22 mpg on highway, drove 1019 miles. Is anybody else getting this kind of mileage.

The catch,,,, no cruising at 80MPH.. Seems the 70 is the magic number. Once you break that number for long runs your mileage seems to drop. Like you, I was pleased with the mileage considering I was towing two Polaris Water Craft and had a bed full of camping stuff.
