What's your Lowest MPG?
Hey All...
I recently had an atrocious (my own fault) stretch of MPG, and was wondering if anyone had experienced anything lower than mine with their Highlander Hybrid.
2006 HiHy, AWD, towing a 19' motorboat. Boat and trailer come right in at the max 3500lb rating for the vehicle. Usually the trailering is just a few miles between cabin / gas station / boat ramp. However, I recently did a Mississippi River trip (put in in North Minneapolis, through five locks and dams, turned around at Wabasha MN for return trip) that required me to trailer the boat 300 miles.
Normal Mileage - 23mpg mixed driving
First 150 miles with boat, tailwind, 65mph - 17.5mpg
Second 150 miles with boat, headwind, 65mph - 12.1mpg
It's the wind that gets you.
Has anyone had anything lower than 12.1 for an extended trip? Just curious.
