We just pulled our 5er up to it's summer spot with the truck in our signature (GCW of around 18K). Traveling 62-63 MPH, we got 12.2 MPG (calculated at fill-up, not trip computer). That's with 3.73 rear gears, but a displacement of over a half liter more than the PSD you are claiming figures on. For MOST diesel owner's, the only way one gets the mileage you're claiming is if you are running it fast all the time.
Well that's great then if you're getting 12.2 mpg towing 11-12K of trailer. I guess I must have been doing something wrong with all my diesels, I dunno. I think that the mileage you're getting is the exception, not the rule. But I'm glad you're doing so well with mileage, it's the reason I bought most of my diesels. Happy towing, Ken
