Towd MPG penalty

[richshoop]

Using a 2001 Jeep Wrangler as a towd, what could I reasonably expect for a decrease in MPG?

It think it's like this. The big block and small block take a different recommended filter. Then ,there is also a longer version of each of those for
HD service.

If your running a standard ratio you can notice 3 mpg decrease
Should you have 3.70 you'll have only 1. mpg decreases
I get that. From our customers

I got 10.2 MPG pulling Linda's 5000lbs Chevy Uplander lift van. With 87 Octane ethanol gas. 78 Royale 403 stock exh, carbureted, and a 3:70 FD. GVW of 17,000lbs. Pulling a car hauler with a car on it. I got 9.8 MPG with a GVW of15,000lbs. So the Uplander seems to have better air flow behind the GMC. With the 3:70 FD. My trans temps went down, and MPG's went up about 1.7 MPG's. That was with the burned GMC. Haven't calculated this 78 Royale 403, and the 3:70 FD yet. Bob Dunahugh
