Crummy fuel economy
I towed a tag trailer 450 km down the highway at 55-60 mph and got 37 liters/100 km. (6.4 mpg). Can you get a Dodge or GM to go through that much fuel?

At 75 mph I would have been pumping diesel but I kinda figured 60 mph was fast enough....The implement I was towing was fitted with 30.5 x 32 combine tires rated for a top speed of 25 mph.
I, as usual, am a little confused. You were towing something at more than twice the speed that its' tires were rated for? Why?
