If anyone really cared about gas mileage when they're doing anything under 15 MPG, they would be actively searching for engines to swap like I am right now. Otherwise, they literally have money to burn.

It's much better to sleep on the roof so you don't have to unpack all your shit during the night to sleep. Especially if you've been driving / atving / hiking all day and you just want a 5 minute setup and get to sleep.
