Actually, onthis last camping trip to Horsethief Lake a couple weeks ago (no mountain travel) Lola did her usual 20 MPG.  I haven't weighed her lately, but she travels pretty full.  When she has to climb mountains she drops to 17.  This has been consistent the last two years I've owned her.  I don't go by the fuel gauge, I go by the trip meter : )
