15.6 mpg flat-towing our jeep
we averaged 15.6 mpg on the trip from new mexico back to dallas flat-towing our jeep in OD
the stretch is overall downhill, but i only expected about 14
i pulled the first leg on the way up with OD locked out, and we got 12.7...the next leg, up into the mountains, i used OD for most of the way until the transmission needed to downshift then clicked it off from there and we got 13.7
overall, it pulled the jeep fine, braking was no problem and handling was no problem...i don't know how well it would've done up some of the passes in utah and colorado though, but i'll find out next trip because we'll tow the whole way instead of driving the jeep from nm onward
