Sorry, no pictures yet. I have one on my mobile phone with the car fully loaded, but I am having troubles getting it to my PC.

The trick with the fuel economy - moderate speed and use of the cruise control. As I said, I did 73-80mph on the highway, but I went slower - let's say ~65mph, I'd have gotten even better results. Highway-only fuel economy was around 17mpg, which is not bad considering heavy load, bad aerodynamics (ski rack fully loaded) and high speed (and some bad winds on the way back). After all the car is rated 14/19mpg, so I guess I did quite OK considering the above + the car has only 1400 miles on it.
