Interesting observation...
We just got back from a 230 mile round trip with the Pod and all our toys. I noticed a difference in towing on the highway. The Pod felt a little "lighter". We got 14.6 mpg which is a bit more than we normally get. I'm thinking the kayaks on my roof made for a more efficient air flow. Anybody else notice this? BTW, Elk Neck State Park is a very nice spot. Too bad we had very noisy and rude neighbors directly across from us. That's another story...  |

We pull our pod with an FJ Cruiser, we also have a canoe on top of the FJ. We get between 14-16 mpg with the canoe on top. I'm sure the canoe has something to do with the better gas mileage. We also don't ever go over the posted speed limit.

I like the canoe better mpg idea. Posted speed limit here in Idaho and Utah is 80mpg which is 15 mph faster than I tow. But most people are not going close to 80.
