We pulled a double enclosed snowmobile trailer last two wknds and got the same mileage both times. I'm not surprised, but just thought I'd post to see other's experiences. 15.9 miles per imperial gallon, which equates to 13.3 U.S. gallon. This was at about 90 km/h or 55 mph, and the trailer is probably less aerodynamic than the Jeep,lol. |

Sounds about right to me... when I trailed my Harley in an enclosed v-nose trailer (more aerodynamic than the jeep) I got about 14mpg at highway speeds |

We pull a camping trailer less aerodynamic than the Liberty that weighs about 3,000 lbs loaded. ( 12.5 avg. MPG ) |

I pull a camper that's about 9' tall and 7' wide (or was it 7.5?), and I get between 10.5 and 11.5 pulling at 60. At 50 during the towing break in period I got right around 13.5. |
