Thanks pianotuna !
That is pretty impressive, that is about the same as I get pulling a 24' trailer with a 1/2 ton.
I drive a VW TDI with a 3.0L V6 diesel. Trailer is 21 feet long, about 4200 # wet. At 55-58 mph, I get 16.5 to 19.5 MPG every single trip. MPG's go up when I get on the 5500 foot plateau above St George, all the way up to Yellowstone NP.
Diesel has more calories, and doesn't suffer from elevation, in fact less wind resistance ups the MPG from sea level, significantly.
Wow, diesel burners sure are a lot more efficient than gas guzzlers.
