[VAC] Re: Trip report
Gerald - My Suburban is a 94 and I got between 10.5 and 13 mpg. The 10.5
was towing in direct drive and when I towed in overdrive (I know your not
supposed to )(in the flats) I got 13. I've got a 4:11 rear. This is less
then I think I should get - I get up to 19 running free and this trailer is
light. Its interesting that I get the same performance towing the 5,000
pound Tradewind. I should also note that we had a rack full of bikes on
top of the Suburban - its amazing that I loose about 3mpg with just that.
