Well the journey is over. The TRX didnt miss a beat and performed flawlessly.

Total distance traveled was 878 mikes with 63.7 gallons consumed. Resulting in an average mpg of 13.8 (13.783). Congratulations to @Terahok!

Some facts and tidbits:

- TRX was left in Auto mode. Paddle shifters were used at times once hitting 300 miles

- $4.67 was the least expensive fuel and $5.05 was the most expensive. 91 and 93 octane was used

- Weather was generally favorable with a light tail wind a majority of the way.

- Trip computer showed 13.5 so it was a bit low but did include the first 16 miles of vehicle life. I forgot to reset!

- I would say overall I did about as well as I could. Clicked off cruise way before my exit. Didnt usually accelerate aggressively. Etc.

-Not sure who had 14.0 or 14.1 but I am sorry. Once I hit Nebraska I was ready to be home. 75 mph speed limit was a minimum. Most my time spent at 80. Higher speed and crosswind dropped my average by about .3 mpg.


Thank you all for joining me on this adventure!

After my guess I thought I might be a little high. Guess not! Thanks @HuskerTRX !

I think 13.5 should be the winner then. Wonder who that was.

Hello RAM-TRX community. As a small sign of my appreciation for this group I'd like to propose a fun 'contest'. On Saturday (7/2/22) I will be flying to Lexington to pickup up my '22 TRX from Dan Cummins (Georgetown). I'll immediately head west towards Central Nebraska and drive approximately 855 miles over the next two days. I'll do my best to follow the break in procedure and once that is completed I plan to stay within 5 mph of the posted speed limit (up or down depending on traffic). Mileage will be hand calculated based on actual gallons used and miles driven. Mileage will be rounded to the nearest tenth. Each person who would like to partake can respond with their MPG prediction below. Format should include a tenth (11.7 or 13.2 for example). Once an estimate is used it can't be used again so pay attention to previous predictions.

Once I get back and calculate the total I'll post it along with the winner. I'll then get in contact with the winner and coordinate payment of their $72.22 (7/2/22).

Thank you again for all your assistance and knowledge. I'm very excited to get to Dan Cummins and start the journey!
