One of my best tanks pulling a trailer yet. Was my small 4x8 trailer lightly loaded with 5 wheels/tires and one van bucket seat so the weight and aero drag were relatively low.

275 Miles @ 60 MPH with trailer and A/C on
250 Miles @ 70 MPH with trailer and A/C on
225 miles of misc trips/errands/etc with out trailer or A/C - Some driving for MPG's during this part of the tank only ~25% effort in driving for economy.

I've got another 700+ miles put on for this month, but the fill up will be in September. Been a lot of driving: ~3300 miles in August.

Decided to check digital gauge on my fuel station for calibration and found it off .50 gals for every 5 gals so my milege has been better all along:( but anyway now I know, beat my best by 5 mpg thanks to the long drive to H05G, yet another in the long list of reasons to attend:D
