This time I went to Austin Texas, or due west of Austin in the hill country, which is absolutely beautiful. This trip, the tonneau cover provided much needed cover from rain for the luggage and other supplies, because on the way back it rained on and off the entire trip. I saw about 10 other Gladiators, almost all of them in Austin but one or two at gas stations along the way. I saw no Broncos either. 
It looks like I averaged between 18.5 and 20.5 MPG. Not bad, considering that on the way down there, I had the cruise control off and my lead foot took over and for a few minutes I was going around 90 I didn't really realize it. I'm not sure what people complain about, because even at that speed, the ride was smooth and straight and I really love how comfortable it is to travel in.
By the way, at exit 353 on the southbound service road, is a place called Slovacek's which is a big Buckee's-style gas station but they have kolaches and other things that are really good. Definitely worth the stop if you're needing gas right about then.
