Re: Towed From Denver to Moab, UT

Here's some more for you...not sure if you had any stop and go traffic, but I pulled about 220 miles yesterday in NY metro trafffic. Meaning stop and go and speeds ranging from 35 to 65 when we were moving at all. I had a 6 x 12 v-nose behind me totalling out at about 2400lbs. Plenty of hills to deal with as well. Averaged 11-12 mpg. Not much better, but one thing I noticed is that keeping it below 60 kept her from that constant down/up shift you get between 60-65. Not sure if that made the difference or, the 1500 lb differential between our pulls. I have to find a way to get better mpg out of her. I'm going to have to do this on a daily basis and at $65 plus per tank (one days driving), I'll be closing the business soon.
