Towing my 1550 Kg caravan consumption varies between 26 mpg (shortish journeys with lots of stopping and starting) and 32 mpg (long motorway journeys at 55-60 mph).

Last year I towed caravan from Northumberland to Bavaria and back. 32 mpg on each tankfull which involved 100% towing. Checked brimful to brimful.

The last petrol car I towed with was a 1.8 Fiat Tipo, I used to get 18 mpg towing a 900 Kg caravan.
