20 is impressive, the best I ever got was 23 stock and the 3 speed auto,
and after the turbo, gears and 33 Swampers I would average 15 on the highway

Just got back from VORRA race, and a swing through Yosemite.  Running the Tracker through Yosemite at 6,000' - 10,000' elevation, it looks like I got 26+ mpg.  Only going 45+ mph but was pulling from the valley floor to the top on both sides and at that elevation I still had LOTS of power.
I'll have to do another check, now that I am back at sea level.  I started running a mileage App. on my phone.

Yes, I was amazed.  It was conservative driving in National Park, less than 50 mph, but at high altitude.  I will see how it does back at sea level.

Yosemite, sounds great. Is there anywhere to wheel there, like rugged mountain trails or something like that?

When my hunting partner decided not to meet me in Moab after the VORRA race, my wife said it was only another 140 miles to Yosemite.  That was close enough, wanted to go there when I was rock climbing and never made it.  Good thing I didn't, would probably still be hanging out there.
Never thought of checking to see who was local.  Would have been great to get some wheeling in.  I always like meeting with Zuke people.  Try to get to Zukafari next year, we are going again.  Met Wildgoody & his brother down there last year, hope to run some more trails with them next year.

Mileage, just like sex and money if a little is good more is better.

Just so you know I'm ecstatic if my boat gets over 3.5 miles per gallon. Most boats I work on get about 1 mpg.

I thought you were too busy working to figure out mileage on your boat.

Yes there is...
The only place I know of is the Rubicon Trail, Yosemite
is a tourist trap kind of place and a National Park
True, wild Yosemite is the tourist place but there are some decent trails around here too.  The most popular trail is Bald Mountain trail, it's very easy and virtually everyone who has a 4x4 hits it.  I haven't been on it yet.  They have a "Moonlight Madness" nighttime run which just happened two weekends ago I think on the 15th or 16th. 
There's Coyote Lake trailhead which takes you to several trailheads.  The only trail I've hit was the Strawberry Lake trail, from what I've heard it's an "intermediate" skill level trail, and I did it in my 3" lifted Tracker with stock gears and 235s.  I was slipping the clutch a lot but now I have the 4:1 and I can't wait to get back on that trail again. 
There's Brewer/Swamp trail which is a little harder. 
The best trail around here, so Ive heard, is the Dusy-Ershim trail.  It is comparable to the Rubicon trail (so I've heard).  It passes through a wilderness area so you are only allowed like 30 or 60 feet off the trail either on either side.  It takes about 3 days to complete. 
I'm drawing a blank on the rest, those are the first ones that come to mind though.  Yosemite is off of CA-41, all of these trails are in the Shaver Lake-Huntington Lake area off CA-168.  Generally within a short drive from Fresno to the local mountains though.
God put me on earth to accomplish a certain number of things.  Right now I am so far behind, I will never die.

well I figured out my electric boost controller was not working right so I changed it tonight..now getting 12-15 lbs of boost (insted of 4-5), it is insane! tons more power ;D

but......after only a couple minutes.....it started running rough/crappy. I hope its just software and not major motor issues because I want to drive this red rocket.

flat out crazy!!!
