First time towing today...

1800 pound trailer, 3100 pound car, mostly between 60-70 mph, 40 miles loaded, 40 miles unloaded, auto, 454, 4.10 gears, 235/85s...

8.9mpg... Was hoping to see at least 10.

You guys doing anything to see better milage? Programmer? Exhaust? Anything?

Thinking smaller and lighter on the wheels and tires will help for sure. I don't really need D load rated tires either, would be surprised if I ever had 1000 pounds on the tongue or in the bed.

Anyway, just thought I would parlay my experience to you guys.

8.9mpg... Was hoping to see at least 10.



hell i hope for ten when im not towing anything i think 8.9 towing is good.....

i get about 9 pulling the wedge, but i got an exhaust, chip, and a tranny cooler. Not sure what the wedge weighs but i put it at around 10,000lbs loaded.

well, I guess it is normal, then... hmph.

I think that I would see 10 if I would keep my toes out of the carpet




BIG BLOCK power and not standing on it is almost sacrilegious

I got 11 out of mine pulling my ranger with five people in the truck.

, BILLY!!!

Fat people?? i classify my self as 1.25 when i am by my self in the truck! lol

i got 11 mpg towing a 1500 lb trailor with a honda civic (donno what they weigh) to drop it off somewhere and back...then i tryed it around town mpg and got 8! WTF!

LMFAO

then I guess I had six, i am pretty health.
