todays trip got my normal mpg whilst towing

Didn't bother with 6th gear, as i find it too high ratio for towing, just easy to set 65mpg and hit the cruise control button

How do you manage to set your MPG I only have Cruise Control on mine.  p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior

Now then if you COULD set the mpg that owuld be great !!!! Stornoway Grey GS ... What a fine motor ... but not any more ... ... psst look at my gallery!
Company cars ... a thing of the past - May 2013.

I always found this weird. We fill up the tank and drive to our destination that is 100 Km. away. At arrival, we look how much petrol we used. So we know the consumption in l/100 Km.
You fill up the tank with no more than one gallon and then you see how far you get with it. Once the car runs out of petrol and you know your mpg, what do you do next ?

there is nothing wrong with my caravan

A very subjective statement! Particularly for the ears of bird men!  09MY FL2 Td4 XS, Style Pack, Privacy Glass, Martinique Blue.. oh so very blue..

Regarding the original comment about the FL2 needing a little more pulling power, yes the 2.2 could do with a little bit more but it's not bad. Superchips Bluefin for sure helps out in that area

My caravan fully laden is 1455kg's and I am more than happy with it.

Regarding mpg! I got a shock last summer, in May we went to the New forest which is about 150 miles, and averaged between 24 and 27 mpg towing.

Then in July we went to within 80 miles of the spanish border on holiday and got 18.9mpg average, so I won't having 3 bikes on the top again! I never thought that three biks upright on the top would make such a difference to the economy. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather.
