I think getting it on a trail is more important than improving the fuel economy with highway trips. Take it to Saddleback, Tahoe, Anza-Borrego -- it's not like you need to need to use it as your Vegas cruiser or something.

Anza-Borrego would be a great weekend trip with a vehicle like this. There are plenty of mild dirt roads to prove out the Jeep's basics and raise the driver's confidence. Then try a few of the tougher trails.
