39mpg MK3 Mondeo 2L Diesel towing 1200kg 4 up with a mobility scooter and a grumpy old git that thought 60mph was terrifying and kept telling me to slow down.

So mostly at 56mph. There was no way i was going any slower.

At proper towing speed its mid 30's.

I think it depends on how much you drive without towing, I get 28mpg towing on long journeys and 25mpg everyday as I do short journeys of 7 miles each way to work in a 2.0 petrol BMW towing a 865kg Elddis Wisp

When i had the 2L petrol Mondeo i used to get 26mpg.

An extra 10mpg, Makes the difference between flling up on the way and getting all the way there and a couple of days worth of fuel for the same money.

Lowest is about 10mpg on hills, 16-18mpg on the flat, towing our box trailer which is always at full allowable weight, 3.5tonnes.

Figures are for LPG, cost equivalent to petrol is approximately 16mpg on hills and 26 - 28mpg on the flat. Best figures are in Holland

Discovery 2 V8 4.0 manual.

2009 Honda Civic petrol v-tec, Elddis Avante 462 2013, 1260kg fully laden, 34mpg towing, 39mpg solo, thats with just 2 adults and my mobility scooter in the car on both quotes.

Planning to upgrade our towcar to a Honda CRV 2.2 diesel in the new year, so that will be a whole new ball game both when towing and solo as far as mpg is concerned.
