    OK hows this work then??

    Bit perplexed here. I have been towing my caravan (foldy up job so admittedly not much of an aerodynamic issue) all last week and I have found that I get exactly the same fuel economy with the van on and with the van off the car?? Im not complaining but I would have expected it to drop???

    Re: Towing. Advice please

    You say that you have no experience of towing - I am sure that you are a competent driver - maybe a 2.5 ton boat on motorways for that kind of distance is not the best thing to cut your teeth on.
