While towing down to disney I was going about 68mph towing 6k and averaged about 11.8 mpg. Around town and commuting I get about 14.5mpg. I use either DieselKleen or 2 cycle oil and rotate usage.
I think part of lies in where we both drove-trip 1 of mine was from Ct to Watkins glen NY up rt 17 (big hills) 2nd trip was to Burlington VT-again hills. Going to dizzyland I presume you went down rt95. I've yet to check mileage on flatlands. 90% of my trips will be up north. Think I'm just stuck with the laws of physics getting a 9k lb big box up long climbs.
