There you go ..... That's what I was trying to say ...... No matter what TV you have it seems that speed has the biggest effect on towing mileage. ...... I'm not sure I got myself out of this one, but speed and head winds seemed to effect my trucks more than hills on total mileage. And I love it when the overhead says 39mpg on a long downgrade.
