I am getting 5-6mpg going west and 7-8 going east. Any head wind, will drop mpg to 6mpg. I am yet to see 9-10 even in Flats.
Yes, the hybrid is totally useless when towing. I learned this the hard way. I probably would have gone in a different direction if I had known this as well as the fact the tank is only 30g so range kind of sucks. I never expected mpgs to drop to 1/4 of regular driving when towing. My older trucks drop mpgs in half not this dramatic. The truck does have its appeal when not towing. It is just the ra ge that gets to me.
I usually drive 60-62mph. Easy on the gas pedal.
Do you have any recommendations on a good low profile trailer with similar floor plans to either? Most of what I have looked at seem to be 10ft 5in to 11ft 2 inches tall.
Thank you
