That's some of the most REALISTIC advice I've seen on the subject of gas milage. When you're driving a rolling Kleenex box with ZERO aero dynamics, expecting ANY gas mileage is well, wishful thinking. It is what it is.

Toad will decrease mpg by 1.

As with the others, we also see about a 1/2 mpg drop with the toad in tow. On the other hand, the toad is going all those miles on zero fuel, so it more than balances out. ;)

Probably 1/2 MPG but since you will be two vehicles you have a "Double Bonus". So from 8 you'll drop to 7.5 or so, but with the double bonus if will feel like 15 MPG. Just be sure to remove the EZ-Pass transponder or the toll authority will also get a double bonus also.

I always plan for 30-50 percent less mpg than I expect. I'd rather fill up sooner than later.

Hopefully not,, but for planing ??

When we had an F53 on a 35 foot coach, the mileage loss was less than ½ mpg pulling a 4300 Jeep. Definitely not enough to prevent us from pulling the Jeep anytime the MH was moving.

Running 8 now, so it should drop to 6 ?
