Pulled boats for many years, now have a Rockwood Minilite 2014s. Pulled by Ford F150 Lariat. Gas mileage went from 16 mpg to 8mpg. Just want to see if this is about the average drop in mpg. Don't see ...
I get about 6-10 with our F150 Ecoboost pulling our 35' Open Range. Hills and speed make the most difference. Slow down and flat and I can see 10. Hills and speed up and it's more on the 7-8 range.
Trust the digital meters - they are much more accurate than the hand method for short term readings. Why? They know exactly how much gas is used. The hand method varies wildly in what is "full".
