I am always surprised to see this too. I drove home today from Winter Park to Aspen and hit some really heavy snow at times, lots of accidents. In one 115 mile stretch, I drove about 40 of it in 4-hi and used 5 gallons of gas. This was anywhere from 8,000-11,500 feet up too.
When I really nail the gas and enjoy gaining 1,000-3,000 feet of altitude in just a few miles, the milage drops....a lot.
