Report: 505.3 Miles of Towing
Went to Gaffney, SC to race, 505 miles round trip. Filled up twice, approxemately 51.3 gallons. On the way over hand calculation of 9.8 and on the way back 10.4 and that is towing a 12K pound 32 foot Pace American Shadow enclosed. I am thoroughly impressed with the fuel mileage after the latest reflash. Last trip I averaged 6.81 MPG. Also, pulled the entire length of Saluda Mountain coming out of SC into NC never dropping below 65 MPH. I passed a guy in a newer Dodge 06-up pulling a flat bed car trailer with a Camaro on it and the look on his face was honestly jaw dropping when I passed him. Just a lil' info that will possibly help anyone thats having bad fuel economy while pulling, also the REGEN frequency is way down only one regen in 505 miles.
