I'm curious as to what kinds of mpg everyone is getting with their perspective rigs. If you don't mind, can you post what kind of mpg you get while towing, and include some basic stats on your TV (model/engine size/gearing/etc), and what size TM you tow (if it's not already in your signature).
I'll assume most people tow in average or mixed terrain (50/50 flat/hilly) so if you feel most of your towing doesn't fit into this category, please comment.

I know I've seen some individual info posted on this, but I'd like to try to gather as much info as possible to form a good comparison.
We have
1. Saturn (07) Outlook AWD XR 3.6L V6 - 6 speed auto Tran. with Trailer towing package. Outlook rated to pull 4500 lbs.
2. A/MPG without towing - 21 (Saturn paperwork says 17-24)
3. A/MPG towing - 13
4. TM- 04 2720SL

a-CA state law says 55 MPH on freeways with trailer--because of all the talk about tire problems I never travel over 57MPH. So far so good. (unless passing)
b - Going to the Rally in Petaluma next week will ck MPG again.

Hope this helps.
