For this trip, I rented a full sized truck. The rental place provided me with a Dodge RAM. This truck got about 15 MPG on the highway and was quite big. It really needed some steps to get into it. It drove pretty good on the highway, but I don't really think I would want one of these for every day driving. I bet the gas mileage in the city is horrible. I did like the satellite radio that was available though. I listened to the comedy radio station all the way there and back laughing all the way. Made for a really nice ride.
