My worst was 8.3 and that was with high winds.

From most V-8 gassers like us, I hear that 8-9 while towing is the norm.

I have never tried going slower than 61 or 62 mph. I'm afraid I would get ran over.

I do remenber one poster over on the RV forum stating that he got 11 mpg at 55 mph. That's dangerously slow to drive in this state.
