Guys I only pulled the trailer with the Mercury Mountaineer on it 40 miles then 40 miles back with just the trailer. I had driven it the other 120 miles with just the bare truck. I never did go over 60 MPH and did take it easy on the gas. So the 7.6 MPG when only lightly loaded would have been bad enough but considering that over half the miles where just the bare truck makes it real bad.
I called the guy my son bought it from. He laughed. He had told my son that the mileage would be bad. The original owner said it would only get 8-10 from day one. He had it back to GM many times to see if anything was wrong with it. They never could find anything wrong with it.
All he ever needed 3/4 for was to pull his camper to Roswell, Nm. twice each year. He winters over there and then comes back to Dubuque. He said the last time he had a head wind going out and it cost him $750 in fuel for the 1200 mile trip. He sold it as soon as he got home. He has a new Dodge. I don't know what engine he got or any details.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
