My fuel economy
(Preview)
I've finally got it worked out! Normal driving around here including highway driving is 7.96lt/100kms or 12.56 km/lt. While towing on this trip it was 11.48lt/100kms or 8.71km/lt. I averaged 80-90kph. I know the first figure is pretty good but is that towing figure what I should expect?
