what's the best MPG you get in tow?

[vitaly]

interesting... i guess we'll have to just see what happens....

Most likely nothing. :thinking:

 

[Mark44]

P

Is that a miss print? I thought those were only good for about 28mpg on the highway with no load???

If thats correct, that will likely be my next vehicle.

If not i will be going with a manual civiz for sure!

The 2008 got ruined when they redesigned it and they only get 28 but the original xB gets me 40 MPG on HWY.

I got 8.5 towing an enclosed trailer with three sj's to Pennsecola in a Dodge Ram 1500. Is that good:thumbsdown::261:

That's what I get towing my 10 ft box for work .:doh:

 

[Idok]

that is GAY...

however, one thing I have learned about 2007+ MY's (I think) is that the mileage ratinigs are now for 70mph whereas pre-2007 were rated at 55mph

I don't understand how some of you can afford gas guzzlers and still be able to ride.

I put a trailer hitch on my wifes 4 cyl Saturn Vue that's how .

 

[cookerq62]

My 07 4x4 4 cyl Taco gets 23mpg with an sj on the bed and an xl800 behind it. It actualy gets better milage with the sj in the bed. My old civic hatch would get over 30 no matter what and about 38 on long trips without a trailer. I towed an 800lb uhaul fully loaded with crap and had the car filled with stuff and it still got 30 something. It was geared super tall, 40 in first 72 in second and 110 in 3rd.

depends on how much you drive!


up until 2 mo's ago I was logging 104-106 miles per DAY to and from work only...not including anywhere else I drove

at that time had a suby that got 26-32 depending on the fun factor...


I recently transferred closer to home...now only drive maybe 30 miles per WEEK for work..

subtract a few miles out of that for days when I ride the bike and all of a sudden gas is really a non-issue

sold the suby and bought an 08 Tacoma 4.0 4x4 and get a solid 20 if babied...

if you romp on it youre dropping to 17-18...which still isnt all that horrible when you figure how freaking BIG the truck is

 

[WET BOX]

38 with the xB.

Mark44

I get 34 avg empty and around 30 towing up to two sxrs with my xB.

 

[dirkdiggler]

I get about 20 mpg with two skis on trailer being pulled by my Lexus SC400.....Its a V8

Great looking ride. The wife wants to bling out her Element to make it stand out from the other toasters around.

My Yukon got 13-15mpg with or without a trailer, before its hissy fit and quit running. I just got done putting a hitch on the wifes Honda Element. Will see how it does tomorrow during the shake down run with a trailer in tow.

 

[z00m]

Around 10 > 12 pulling one ski in my Subaru sti , and thats with £5.20 a gallon in the uk and i have to put £10 worth of octane boost in cause it runs at 103 ron, i only get around 120 miles for £60 worth of fuel and boost,

[Crab]

Just over 20 with the Z71 Colorado 4x4 towing 3 boats.

 

[djkorn1]

I get about 27.5 mpg in the 4 banger Accord pullin the ski and that's on the whole trip. :naughty:

dude i always drive 55-60 in the slow lane. saves gas, safer and it really doesn't take that much longer unless you're driving super long distance. bout 4 months ago i completely stopped talking on my phone in the car too. I don't care what ANYbody says people should not talk on the phone while driving, bluetooth or not.

Thanks for that info! I like the original better, I was just curious and checked out a new one a few weeks back and saw 28mpg.

If I go that route I will have to buy used I suppose.

 

[kid4now]

I get about 20 mpg pulling my 2 superjets behind my G35.
