realistic MPG expectations
after some searching, I'm wondering what kind of mileage people are getting when towing. I know the frontal area of the trailer is a big factor, as far as wind resistance, even more so than weight. ...

6 to 9 +/-2....so 4 to 11? :B
not really about finances, more curiosity. Whether gas is $2/gal or $5/gal, don't want to be hunting for a gas station every 75 miles. My low fuel light comes on with about 3 gallons left, so a rough guess as to how far I have is really why I'm curious.
Rereading it did sound kind of silly. I was going for the average most likely will be 6 - 9 but depending on terrain, your driving it could be much different 4 - 11.
First year I towed 75 - 80, gas was awful. Now I tow 60 - 65. A little better mileage.
