I pulled a 4500 lb enclosed cargo trailer from St. Louis, MO to central PA a couple years ago with ours. We averaged 13mpg until we hit eastern Hell, er, Ohio. Hills and mountains the rest of the way - 11mpg. Normally I get about 17-18mpg around town, and between 18 and 21 on the highway. I still haven't figured out why we got 16mpg over four tanks of fuel. > > My wife's X-Trail turns in close to 45mpg when averaging 75mph.

As far as I know, they don't offer the Xterra outside the US. But that's really good mileage for an SUV. Our 2000 Protege doesn't do that well. My uncle owns a Dodge Ram 2500 with the Hemi. Gets 9mpg running empty. For the final phase of our move east I rented a 17' U-haul and a dolly to tow the car. The van they gave me was a ford econoline chassis with the triton V10. Fully loaded and towing a car we averaged 11mpg. I called my uncle from the road to rub it in. <g> He had some choice words for me! -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com Burn more dinosaur bones! -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
