Pro Tips for Towing Fuel Cost Increase

  1. Fuel economy reduction from towing varies significantly based on trailer weight, aerodynamics, and speed — a heavier or less aerodynamic trailer at highway speed sees a larger percentage impact.
  2. Use your own observed fuel economy difference while towing versus not towing for a more accurate personal estimate than a generic percentage.

Common Towing Fuel Cost Increase Mistakes to Avoid

  • Using a generic towing fuel-economy-impact percentage without adjusting for your specific trailer's weight and aerodynamics, which significantly affect the real impact.
