   I was towing my 2010 rpod 151 from Twin falls to Boise and averaged 7.3 mpg for the trip which was about 120 miles. I was averaging around 70-75mph...A little headwind but nothing crazy...I usually avg 17-18 mph without trailer...That doesn't seem right to me considering the dry weight is just under 2000 lbs....I greased the bearings though the grease port in October...I'm thinking of maybe having bearings repacked? any other thoughts? I'm towing with a 2016 Tacoma with tow package thats rated at towing 6500 lbs....
