Drive slower, speed while towing has a HUGE impact on MPG.
My 2014 Jeep cherokee latitude
75MPH just over 20 MPG
65MPH just about 30 MPG (Freeway in all cases)
55 MPH pushes 40 (39 and change) MPG
Motor home Below 60 not much change
over 60 MPG dropped faster than Speedometer climbed.
Observations on the Average MPG meter on both vehicles.
Motor home (38' Class A gasser) with 100 MPH (about) tail wind. I mean the tumble weeds were passing me going straight down I-10 like I vehicles would be if I was in pari.. 13.8MPG Internet at the time was yammering about the 14 MPG Class A....Well that's one way to do it :)
