We just got home from a 2700 mile road trip.
Seattle - oakland - yosemite area for some fly fishing - over Sonora pass to Reno - Ogden - Boise & home.
Average speed on the highway was 73 mph & 18.6 mpg overall. The pathy seems to find it's stride at about 85mph when there are no cops around.
This is the 3rd long distance trip in the pathy & I'm still impressed as to how comfortable it is & how well it runs.

that sounds like a nice trip. the path always impressed me after every trip i take with it. i wish i could go 80mph and get around 25mpg.

Not bad that with the V6? I'm fortunate enough to often travel at 100mph - handles like a sportscar compared to the other 4x4's in my family.

At night on the open straight boring roads I set CC at 93mph. Day I like to enjoy the scenery @ 77mph just 3mph above limit.

Can't wait for my Radflo's. Got a nice 2500mi trip soon.

Got some pics?

Nice!! I get 19mpg with a rocket box if I peg the cc at 70. Seattle-Bend-Reno-Bend-Seattle. Pathfinder is awesome for road trips, IMHO.

That is some good mileage over the mountains at those speeds.
I find you can get in the 20's if you go 65. But I just can't do it the time difference is better then the cost to me.
