    Took a 400 mile trip from PA to WV towing a 6x10 open trailer. Nothing caught fire nor malfunctioned. The JL did great, averaged about 16 mpg at 75. I did have to stop once just to clean the bugs off the windshield.

    Pretty decent mpg while pulling that trailer at 75mph. That could be my new excuse for a JLUR and unload the '04 Pilot

    I was surprised too. Of course, that is overall by the computer. I haven't done hand calculations.

    IMO as long as it's consistent +/- I would consider the computer accurate enough.

    15.934 last tank per Fuelly. That was the flat portion of the trip. After I filled up, I started up the mountains. Well see how the return trip goes.

    Moved my step-daughter after her boyfriend broke up with her.

    Also pulled that trailer, with much less stuff on it, 750 miles round trip to and from West Virginia.

    I installed, removed and returned an Alien Sunshade! Hung too low. Touched my head.

    Bungee attachments. Rode about half way down the roll bar tube by the nature of the elastic. A strap/buckle mount looks to ride at the top of the tube. I'll wait until I see that type of mount in person before buying another.

    Good to know.... perhaps the strap/buckle mount version can stretch the material taut so your hair won't get mushed. In the mean time sit a bit lower? :)

    The shade didn't sag. The bungees hold it very tight. The nature of the bungees center the shade in the middle of the roll bar, an inch or so lower than the top edge.

    My hair is only slightly longer than that "gentleman" in your picture.
