What kind of gas mileage does a caravan get?
My favoured caravan was a 2001 Elddis Crusader SuperSirocco (MPTLP 1750kgs),my diesel Volvo’s were D5’s with a towing limit of 1800kgs. The real world MPG with Petrol ( not what the OBC said) was regularly 19 to 22 mpg and my towing speed was usually between 50mph and 60mph and whenever possible/appropriate I would use cruise control.
What’s the fuel consumption of a towcar caravan?
Even with my S-Max & 1550kg Cadiz combination the fuel consumption rises dramatically over about 55mph. Crusing at 55 I get around 31-32 mpg. Do it at 60 and it drops to 27-28. I dread to think what it might be if I blatted along at 65.
How did fuel consumption change with the 100 series?
Something changed with the 100 series. You wouldn’t be hard pressed to guess that we started to think a little more about consumption than carrying capacity during the 100 series era. Fuel became more expensive, and more fuel stations were popping up.
Which is more economical Towcar caravan or shogun?
Pulling a big lump of caravan is like dragging a brick through treacle and the faster you do it the more drag there is. It’s a square law, double your speed and the drag increases four-fold. I’d also guess that a 3. 2 Shogun isn’t the most economical of vehicles even when solo

Why is my Dodge Grand Caravan getting worse gas mileage?
Dirty Oxygen Sensor: An oxygen sensor measures exactly how rich or lean the exhaust gases are when they leave the combustion chamber. The data is used by the vehicle computer to adjust the amount of fuel entering the engine. If the sensor is dirty or failing it can lead to a drop in miles per gallon.
What makes a turbodiesel engine so fuel efficient?
Turbodiesel engines are capable of safely running a much higher turbocharger pressure setting. This allows a turbodiesel engine to produce a substantial low-rpm torque output. For that reason, turbodiesel engines can be driven in most situations at a much lower RPM than other engines, which helps them achieve a very high level of fuel economy.
