johnb80 Posted April 28, 2004 Report Posted April 28, 2004 Hi,Tonight is the first time I've towed with my Gal and what a pleasant suprise it was. I towed a 4 whell Tow-A-Van total weight 1850Kg with my 115 TDi Auto. The engine is just amazing, 60mph, 5th gear on the motorway, cruise set, 33.7mpg !!! Hills no problem at all, stayed in 5th all the way. The vehicle itself absolutely rock steady no snaking about, the only vehicle I have towed with that is better was a Range Rover but that only managed 11 mpg ! Well done Ford/Seat/VW Regards - JB Quote
Eddy Posted May 1, 2004 Report Posted May 1, 2004 JBAgree with your comments. My van is only 1500kg, but still heavier than I am used to. Gal seems to tow very steady and economically. I have used a V8 Discovery before but the performance is not really any better than the Gal and the fuel consumtion of those V8 engines is almost criminal!RegardsEddy Quote
johnb80 Posted May 1, 2004 Author Report Posted May 1, 2004 On my Range Rover I went the LPG route for that very reason, 14 mpg is no joke. The sound though was music !!! Regards - JB Quote
