Your numbers are about right.  I get around 23 mpg day-to-day and 12 when towing.  Heading to Florida in the spring one of the 2 days driving I hit a heavy headwind all day and dropped to 8.]]> Sat, 05 Nov 2011 19:30:24 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2237&PID=20817#20817 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2237&PID=20814#20814 Author: Keith-N-Dar

Some day I will remember not to punch that button before writing reply...

I get 18 not towing our 177 and 12-14 towing.  Mine does best for fuel mileage at 55-60.  I have a button that sets up the transmission for towing, and it does best if that is pushed.

Have fun with yours!

We did a one nighter, left Friday morning and went to Clifty Falls State park near Madison Indiana, very few campers there. Parked the Pod, headed to Madison, walked the shops, late lunch, nice time.  Walked a couple of miles around the camp, and then Head Bobbin time, lights out.  the trip was short, about 100 miles round trip, very hilly in southern indiana, I mean hiking 5 minutes, rest 10. I got 12.4 miles per gallon with my 08 Trail Blazer, I was hoping for better.  It seems the sweet spot is 45mph to 60, less on hills, on flat terrain it goes into overdrive, I think I can anticipate hills and I am shooting for 13 to 15 mph, what is everybody else doing gas mileage wise. My last tank of gas with no towing I got 18.4 mpg back and forth to work and misc driving. Am I in the Range or what ?]]> Sat, 05 Nov 2011 16:58:24 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2237&PID=20811#20811
