Last week I took a 3K mile road trip from Boston, MA to Valdosta, GA (non stop) then from Valdosta, GA to Louisville, KY (saying hey to the folks) and eventually back to Boston.
Going there (1227 miles) it took me just around 20 hrs (nonstop) only me in the AV without anything in the back cargo area. I took my time driving and averaged around 60 mph (factoring slowdowns for gas and rest stops) . When I arrived Valdosta I checked and saw I made about 21.8 mpg. Note: for some reason my pix did not save
So on the way back I had my son, a full cargo area, two dogs and towing a 2800lbs S2000 crammed with more stuff. Son had coil-overs and I had to improvise, nothing like a 2"x4" to give you the extra lift you need
Here's the results from my 3k mile trip
Average mpg dropped to 15.6
192.9 gallons
51:43 hrs driving
