    It's definitely silly to complain about the fuel economy, considering the type of vehicle this is. And, the fuel economy has always been shitty on BOF 4WD SUV's.

    But, there's nothing wrong with doing what you can, within reason, to get the best fuel economy possible. I drive slow when I'm not in a hurry. And, I take off my roof rack whenever I know I won't need it for awhile.

    Yep, it also grinds me gears whenever fuel economy comes up and the typical response is "buy a prius" or "it's going to be bad"

    Folks just trying to make the most of what they got whether by savings or range.

    For "bad" fuel economy it's sure better than a Sequoia and some full-sizers.

    I'm not going to take a Prius down a fire road and people aren't expecting magical numbers.
