I used to haul all sort of stuff around on my ugly old single-axle trailer
pulled by a '91 Explorer XL with towing package and manual gearbox. A
consistent 19 mpg towing (A/C on or off), and a consistent 10-21 mpg NOT
towing.
Only bad tow I ever had was bringing back my Standard Pennant from WV to NY.
Realized on the way down that I was running on only five cylinders. Realized
half-way back (central PA) that I'd lost the rear brakes on the Explorer due
to a rusted steel hydraulic line. Neither problem was easily fixable en route
(try to find a mechanic in MECHANICSBURG, PA, on a Saturday afternoon!), but
neither stopped me from getting home safely. Not a bad hauler, really.

*Man: Well, no ... It's not so much of a jet, it's more your, er, Triumph
Herald engine with wings.
