Lots of money and plan your fuel stops!

I am currently in the South of France having towed 1100 miles down here and averaged just over 16mpg, filling up on the motorways at €1.76 a litre hurts like hell. The biggest issue is that the car has no idea what gear to stay in, it stays in third or fourth most of the time, even when I shift up on the paddle about 20 seconds later it reverts to automatic again and drops down.

I have a large caravan but the car clearly isn’t cut out for towing, I did the same journey previous years in an X5 and then Range Rover Sport and the journey was far better in them.
