Our trip to Destin
We took the new Denali to Destin for the two weeks we was there. There was 4 of us and all our stuff in the truck. The bed was packed tight because, BIL took his bicycle and a bunch of linens and such for the house in Miramar Beach. We could not lay a sheet of paper on the tail gate and get it closed!! Anyway, going down I-65 at 75 mph with cruise set, it averaged 20 to 20.5 mpg. This was calculated manually and by the DIC. It was the same coming back north. Can't wait to see what she gets with the 5er hooked up.

Yes, I was pleasantly surprised when ours was new. Forcing the companies to produce better milage vehicles seems to be a good thing.

Not to detract from the mileage discussion, but we are so eager for the end of July to arrive since that is when we will be returning to the area (Topsail) for the first time in three long years! These threads of visiting the area revive the pangs of envy!

Hey Bingo, I was supposed to be at Top Sail for the months of May and June working as a volunteer those months, and staying thru the middle of July just camping. Well things change, got a bulging disc in my neck causing really bad pain, especially when driving. If I can get straightened out, I'll be there in July, and maybe into August. Really love Top Sail, sure is a bummer not being there, knowing you were supposed to be there.
