Towing

[Mark Garber]

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

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.
