Fuel Mileage....

I ran up to Idaho to hunt geese !

and towed my new 8 x 20 enclosed trailer for the first time. WOW, talk about crappy fuel mileage. I averaged like 9 mpg!

Atleast I ended up with a pile of honkers and was able to get some good film. (8 man limit with a bonus goose band)

I just flew back from Salt Lake City after visiting DPG. Beautiful country side up there.

My lie o meter reads 11-12.5 or so city and up to about 13-15 highway if I stay out of it.

I get about 11-12 pulling our 33" toyhauler. That thing is TALL and weights about 14K, but it tows really well.

Are you guys running the SCT Towing Tune from ID? I was really dissapointed by the 9-10 mpg on the Idaho trip. I am hopeful that I will get a little better with that Tow tune!

Well I ran down to Southern Utah to hunt with one of my guys yesterday and I ended up getting 18 mpg. Of course that was not pulling a trailer but I was pretty happy with that!
