Towing
Well, when you think about it. Look at the weight of the towing rig and the
percentage of weight increase. Not really much. Say its 10% and you'd lose 10% mps. ok, so were doing good and got 10mgp without toad, now we get 9. Don't see where this would be a concern for those that don't put at least 100,000 miles a year on. Now befor you all start yelling. those were just off the head easy #'s to get on thinking about why should this be a concern. Mark, 80FC35, ouch 7 mpg getting ready for 6 when start pulling trailer. But its good milage for a house with attached garage. ![]() ps. grrrrrrrrr, can post pick of nice smiley Jeff Miller From the experience of towing ranging from a 4-down Geo Tracker (3,000lb?) to a 4-up BMW (total ~7,000lbs) I saw less than 1mpg difference, hard to tell as I seldom repeated the same trip/terrain. - Jeff Miller http://www.wanderlodge.net http://www.millercoachworks.com --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Jon" > > Because I'm concerned with the price of fuel and towing a toad behind > me, I was wondering what difference their is from say towing a rig that > maybe weighs in at 2,000lbs and 4,000 lbs are far as milage?Jon > Jon Lechich > 78 Wanderlodge --------------------------------- Yahoo!
