Land Cruiser 250 First 800 Mile Roadtrip - Averaging 18-20MPG

In case anyone is wondering what their air intake in the LC250 looks like. I recently removed all my fender lines and exposed it. It's a much more different design than on my 5G 4Runner. This intake is longer and seems to have a small filtering system on the bottom. Now I need to figure out a DIY solution to cover it back up after I trim my fenders as the liners won't go back on how Toyota made them too. And unfortunately to my knowledge nobody in the US makes a snorkel for the LC250 yet. Although I have thought about trying to get one imported from AUS. Anyone imported a snorkel yet?

A few weeks ago I drove my LC250 from St George UT to Anaheim CA area. Almost 400 miles. And for anyone who's driven that stretch know's it has a good amount flat spots, uphill and downhill. On the way there I averaged 17.6-18mpg. On stock tires/suspension. Which surprised me. I thought it would be a little bit better. Although I may have had the wind pushing against me. Then 5 weeks later when I drove the Land Cruiser back after it had been lifted on Long Travel (but still on stock tires) it averaged 20-21MPG's. (Could be the wind again this time helping push me forward).

What MPG's has everyone else been getting? Make sure to list your suspension + wheel/tire size mods for reference. Thanks!
