Current Aspen MPG

RE: Current Aspen MPG
We will be taking a 3,000 mile trip for Thanksgiving so maybe we can provide some highway experiences upon return. Driving from Scottsdale, AZ to Spearfish and Rapid City, SD. I will try to get fuel mileages in both directions so the mountains don't have such a huge effect.
We have just over 4,900 miles on the car today, before we leave Saturday morning.

We just got home from our trip of 3022 miles from Scottsdale, AZ to Spearfish/Rapid City, SD. Lots of wind and certainly lots of elevation changes as we saw over 7,000 ft. elevation about 10 or 12 times this trip. Gas mileage by the old fashioned method for the total trip was 18.1 mpg. The computed mileage per tank in general was about 1.0 mpg higher than actual.
Best tank of gas was 20.1 mpg as we dropped down the mountain coming home. Worst tank was 15.5 as we climbed the mountains in New Mexico with very heavy head winds.
5.5" of snow in Spearfish with temps as low as 6*.
Car was great, no issues of any kind except for the sudden adjustment of the drivers seat in an unpredictable, unexpected timeframe. Seat moves up and back to same location with my memory settings, with Susan's memory settings it moves forward only and must be readjusted manually. We cannot detect anything that is consistent with the movements, but it is very disconcerting and dangerous. In the 3022 miles we drove the seat moved probably 30+ times.

They still have not figured out your seat problem? You hvae had that for a while, must be driving you absolutely nuts. Although, when you are driving that far, it can be used to help keep you awake, LOL.
