Just got back from a bit of a tour this weekend, Dordogne to Caen then Portsmouth to Teignmouth, then Teignmouth to Norwich, then (now with horse trailer attached) back to Dordogne! About 2,500km all told.
P38 didn't miss a beat.
27.5 mpg without the trailer (cruising 75ish), 19.5 with the trailer (55ish). Total weight of car plus trailer plus horse was 4.3 tonnes, so I don't think the mpg towing is all that bad.
I didn't have any overheating problems despite many long inclines, but it is suprising how quickly the temp gauge rises when driving up them - have some thoughts about that but that will be another thread....
Cheers,
Jerry
