In fact, here is a picture of us at 1001 miles into our trip. This is fueling up at Mammoth Hot Springs.
Anyhow, I had been keeping track of this 220 mile average as we were travelling, but then once we got into Yellowstone I noticed we started getting way more than 220 miles per tank. It was trippy to me. I was trying to figure out the mystery.
Finally, Christy mentions to me...
the truck drives a lot smoother without the trailer on it - doesn't it!
That's when it hits me.
I haven't been pulling the trailer for the last couple days, so I'm starting to get great gas mileage again.
I know. I know. Pretty sad huh?
But, hey, you gotta take the good with the bad with me. Sorry
Mostly I just wanted to let you know a little of the behind the scenes workings of my not-so-sinister mind.

That's alright, I was trying to figure out why you didn't have the trailer! I thought maybe you lost it like your keys.
Think of the gas mileage you would have had if you didn't drive 1001.2 miles with the emergency brake on...
