Towing the Tolman to Cedar Key and back was kinda shocking in terms of
finally getting the mpg while towing; 13 mpg


I wouldn't complain about 13 mpg. I get 7/8 mpg towing the Ranger with
the F-150 and that's dowhill with a tail wind.



How's it do towing that Grady? :)

I get about 14 mpg towing my 21' Parker, and my Parker cuts a much
larger hole through the air than that flat-decked Ranger.

Tow speed might have something to do with it. I tow at 55 around here.
That's the speed limit on the main state road. One of the idiots here
claimed he towed at 70 mph+.
