Geodude is on a distinguished road.

We're just back from a month-long trip thru New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Quebec and back home to Ontario. If it helps the mileage debate at all, I have some "results".

For this trip we were toting around about 3800lbs of trailer and stuff. We also drove a lot of mountainous terrain, with and without the trailer, including the White Mountains in NH and the Cabot Trail in Cape Breton. For the 6,000kms of the trip our fuel consumption was 16.6 L/100 km or 14 US mpg.

The Sequoia performed like a champ the whole time, was of course very comfortable. In the end the gas consumption isn't far off what our minivan was so I can't complain giving the higher level of capacity, capability and refinement.
