Yeti Elegance, 2WD, 2.0

First long trip with the Yeti and Orion 400/2 Keynsham to Slapton Ley (Devon)

Worked out on the full tank, and displayed pump litres, it seems to be 40mpg!

 

It says that caravan has a MiRO of 959kg and a MTPLM of 1,076kg...  so about the same as mine. I only get 32mpg towing mine (which is about 10 mpg less than if I don't tow it and do similar motorway driving). But then I have a 4x4 DSG and a heavy right foot (even with the caravan I love to be amazed by the Yeti's acceleration as if there is no caravan behind me  )...  I'd love 40mpg when towing! 

I'm about the same as Johann, although when we came back from Cornwall last month it dropped a lot as we were battling a head wind all the way to Bristol!

About the same as them  ^^ .  

27/28 from my now departed 170 towing 1400Kg .... sadly my new Tiguan is down to 23 .... 19 coming back from our Easter break into a headwind.  NOT impressed!

I have the same car as gumdrop. It is only 2 months old and I have towed 210 miles with it so far and consumption is 32.5 mpg when towing 1250 kg. Okay, so the Orion is a bit lighter than my van but 40 mpg seems a bit high to me!

 

Perhaps gumdrop could post again after his next trip to see if this great figure is repeated?

It does depend a lot on Hills and Headwinds, I had

a good run down and back with moderate traffic.

The Focus 1.8 TDCi did between 35 and 38mpg.

I like to cruise at 60mph

I will post after my next trip which is to Roseland Cornwall

The trip we did the other week, down to St Ives, I got 36 on the way down but only 28 on the way back. As said we battled a headwind all the way to Bristol.

Swift challenger sport 584 with max weight of just under 1500kg behind Yeti 2.0 140 bhp 4x4, averaging 30mpg.

When I was towing with the Octi I found the mpg actually improved over time, but took nearly 30k miles to achieve this

Found the trip screen, it shows 38mpg for the round trip

Found the trip screen, it shows 38mpg for the round trip

That's what I'd expect.
