No problem in my AWD Cayenne.
Thought you were the big shot with two BMWs.
Repo'd eh?
If I had two BMW that were repossessed how could I get a Porsche
Cayenne? I do have a Z4, too, if you really must know.
I'd thought about getting a Z4 to take back and forth to the golf
course, rather than that big
truck. Seems like I'd save a lot on fuel.
You would save a ton of fuel.

Probably not that much, he has a newer diesel, and probably gets 22 mpg or
so on the highway.

On purely interstate travel, you are right on the money.

Towing, or not?


NOT!

When I attach 10000 lbs, the mileage drops to about 12 mpg.

That's not bad. Best I can hope for is about 9. I have about 14k and my
mileage continues to improve.


I'm pushing 60K now, so I don't expect a lot of improvement. That's still 50% better than I got with
the 4Runner pulling about 3500lbs. Can't bitch too much. It won't be long before my wife has this
trailer up to 14000 the way she's going.
