Default MPG with trailer

I just filled up after driving mostley (95%) with my 5x12 tandam axle trailer with my stump grinder on it. The trailer with all tools and grinder probably weigh just over 2500 lbs. I did a job yesterday that was about 70 miles away and drove about 70 mph the whole way. I got 13.5 mpg.

Anyone else have MPG figures while towing? Would love to hear them.

Good.

On the freeway I run about 17 Mpg's at 75-80 Mph
So if you are getting that kind of mileage I wound jump![sm=wootwoot.gif]
