a high definition camera, and a lot of computer equipment and cables.
So my usual is around 27 mpg, unless there's a good tailwind.

I got very similar numbers with my 97 Grand Caravan (in the 'Grand', with the rear seats removed, you can carry 4' x 8' sheets lying flat)... on a hot summer day with the A/C off I got 30.5 mpg; with the A/C on about 27. (mostly empty, just myself and 3 computers). 3.3L flex-fuel engine, very reliable. No longer have it due to I unfortunately failed to yield wrong-of-way.
