No apology necessary, no confusion either. I just snagged your post to comment, while big mileage numbers sound desirable...especially now... it's only one of the criteria most people are up against. People can cut their fuel bill, and be politically correct, by trading their ride for a super mileage vehicle.... piece of cake. But, it's best to be aware of lifestyle changes necessitated by such a move. Better than doing it, then having the, "OH shit" moment.
That said, if they're getting 12mpg chances are they can't afford to do that stuff anyway. Everyone has to find their balance of priorities

But I have taken it to the top of the highest paved road in the US.

Mount Evans?

It sounds like you have a very active lifestyle.

Not me, I live vicariously through the adventures posted here in the Cellar.

But you might want to work on reducing your salt intake. I hear it's bad for your blood pressure.

You'll be eating those words when the giant slug invasion starts.
