So what are folks average MPG when towing

[Can_t_Wait_Now]

Well I am towing a 2800lb base weight figure 3600 actual with full propane tanks Battery and gear, Towing with a 2011 Nissan pathfinder V6 Pa is hilly so in 4th gear allot is automatic but to limit beating the tranny I run it manual, Well I am getting 8.7 mpg. Not thrilled but oh well having fun anyway. We have a 600 mile trip to Myrtle beach planned so hoping no more than 4 fill ups one way.

Indiana to Maine avg 10 mpg. Maine back to Indiana 7.8 mpg Average for entire trip was 9.5 mpg The hills in New York on hwy 88 killed the mileage on the way back but the view was worth it.

It Is what it is, If I was worried about it I would have never bought the 5er, all you can do is Slow down. IMHO

You are wise to run in manual.... and up hill take it down to 3rd probably if it is a 4 speed.

Your mileage sounds reasonable, but if you want to improve it, the best thing you can do is slow down. 55-60 in the right lane of an interstate is a good place to be.
