Default Mileage Question

Tomorrow i am meeting my family and friends to ride. Its probably 20 miles and i have 2 options to get there, just wondering which is more gas/money efficiant for me. i can either a) drive the 4wheeler there, i have a 650V2 and i think it gets somewhere around 30 MPG if i can count right. or i can borrow my father-in-laws trailblazer and trailer which i think gets no that well of gas mileage with the trailer on. what would you do in the situation, should i just bring some extra gas on the wheeler since we will probably do like 30-50 miles plus my 20 there and back or what? thanks for any help.

If you are getting 30 mph with a 650 V-2 then you are getting better fuel economy than a 400 manual will get. Probably closer to 15 mpg.

I have an 04 Trailblazer and it gets just over 16 when trailering. I would probably trailer myself, but if it's a fairly nice ride there and back I would consider riding it too. I would agree with Bear, I doubt that your getting 30 with your V2, although I haven't checked it myself. But I have heard people claim that V2's get considerably better mileage than others in it's class.
