Cage fuel consumption when towing a bike on a trailer
How much do you find your fuel consumption in your cage drops when towing a bike or two on a trailer? I guess on motorways you travel slower than normal, so the effect isn't too bad.
Any expeerience on here? |

done a few runs with the the Focus 1.8TDCi hatch and two supermotos on the trailer + all the kit needed, tools, leathers, lids, boots, food, drink, cameras etc etc Usually get between 450 and 520 miles to the light driving gently normally with no trailer, can drop as low as 350 if i'm trying to get somewhere in a hurry with the trailer, probably ~400 with the trailer taking it easy

I may have done actually, I think I'm going mad!
Can a mod stop/block or delete this thread as they see appropriate? |
