We started at the Shell station behind our house with the trip meter at zero, 27 days later, 4444 miles had passed. Here's the final tally . . . .

242 gallons of gas
most expensive gas . . . 4.62 per gallon in Death Valley

overall average for a gallon of premium gas . . . 3.66 (FJ needs the high octane stuff)
18.4 miles per gallon overall
We did manage over 20 mpg on the slow legs (Yosemite & Oregon with the speed limit of 65)
27 nights on the road
18 nights in a tent
2 nights with friends/relatives
7 nights in a hotel pushed our average cost to 44.74 per night
