Am I getting the numbers about right? Comparing ICE that gets 10 MPG while towing, unhook the trailer and mileage jumps to 16.2?
My little V6, the few trips made without trailer and long enough to check mileage, always ran 19-20.5. Running around town, 16-18. Towing my popup, under 62 MPH, 16-18. Never hauled a Mustang, but a '53 Chevy on a trailer took me down to less than 10.
My 3406E would average around 6, but bobtailing home from Florida Mississippi, or Minnesota after dropping Red Cross trailers, she would crowd 12.
What I really wonder is how many people that are bad mouthing the loss of range when towing have run the numbers; How much does the trailer shorten the per tank range of your ICE?
