Hi!
I've just done a journey from Looe in Cornwall to Liverpool, towing my 4 berth caravan (weighing about 1000 Kg) with a 1.6 petrol towcar. The car usually averages around 40 mpg when solo, but I managed 30 mpg during this journey, which was mainly A roads and motorways.
I was just curious to know if that mpg was good, bad or expected.
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Neil.
Posted on 17/11/2017 09:53 by Chris ArdisI have just completed my last trip of the year from North Lancashire to the Cotswolds. The run down on congested M6/M5, 210 miles @ 34.2 mpg. Coming home on M5, A roads from Worcester to Warrington, M56 & M6 took about 30 minutes longer, 219 miles @ 33.9 mpg.
This is with a Euro 5 Merc C220 Cdi estate with manual gearbox towing 1,450 Kg. My annual average towing mpg. this year is 33.14. Last years figure was slightly better @ 33.65 with an overall average including mainly urban solo running of 40.45 mpg.. With 7 weeks still to go, I have not done the overall calculation for this year yet.
