My TV gets an average of 16 MPG while not towing and would burn 6.25 gallons to travel the 100 mile distance. It gets 14 MPG while towing the TM and would burn 7.14 gallons to travel the 100 mile distance. This means it takes me .89 gallons to tow the TM 100 miles. Thats well within their claim. If you go here:

You will see the ad starts with-"It only takes about one extra gallon of gas..."

And the old disclaimer still applies:

Your mileage may vary!!

We calculated that towing our 2720 w/ an 07 Chrysler T&C went from 23mpg to 16.8mpg. Somehow that comes up close to correct. Still, I wouldn't bet my fuel budget on that claim.

Mine works out to be 6.45 gallons with no trailer & 7.69 gallons with trailer for 100 miles. Not bad for a Rover but slightly more than 1 gallon.
