Are you running the Diesel in your Canyon or the 3.6. What kind of MPG do you roughly see. Obviously you are heavier then me and travel a bit faster but just curious.
Gas 3.6L V6. My MPG varies alot between 8 mpg to 12+ mpg when towing and over 20 mpg when sightseeing without the TT. On the flat New York Thruway with a cross and tail wind, I got over 11 MPG towing. In the New Hampshire/Vermont mountains only 9 mpg.

The increasing elevation and a strong west head wind dropped the MPG down to only 8 mpg.:E Maybe I'll make up for it when I head back home east bound.
