We get about 8 mpg towing the 8500 lb trailer. With a 38 gal tank, we stop to refuel when gauge is on 1/4. So 38*.75=29 gals * 8 mpg = 228 mile range. Averaging 65 when towing on the Interstate, that's about 3.5 hours of driving. If we leave the CG early, we fuel up on the way out to the hiway, then get gas when we stop for more coffee about 10:00, then fuel again when we stop for lunch about 1:00, the we are usually ready to knock off for the day about 4:00 ish.
Typically DW's bladder is full before the gas tank is empty, so range is kind of a moot point. If I have to stop, I may as well buy gas too....
