My previous quote - Going by the car computer I get 30 mpg towing 1550 kg at 56 mph, with my Smax 2L tdci 140.
I forgot to mention I got 30 mpg towing my old 1300 kg caravan with the same car? When I got the new/er 1550 kg caravan I was surprised to get very similar mpg?

Are we the only people towing with a Peugeot these days.
We have a Peugeot 407. 2.0l diesel. Towing a compass fixed bed.
We get approx 25mpg when towing. But over 50mpg when not towing.

Nissan quashqai 1.5dci euro 4 engine towing fleurette tamaris 13 ft pop top on decent run towing at 60/65mph 40mpg, solo at around 70mph 60mpg. The current quashqai with euro 5 engine should be even better!. The 1.5 engine will romp up a long 1 in 5 in 3rd and 4th gears.
