Ford Fairmont 2008 Problems

THE consumption works out to be 23.9 litres/100km, or 11.9 miles a gallon in the old money, which is pretty high. That said you have to expect higher fuel consumption when towing, how high depends heavily on the weight of the caravan, the front it presents to the wind, and the sort of road you're towing over. A recent trip to the Northern Territory in a Subaru Outback towing various sized camper trailers saw the Outback's normally good fuel consumption climb 30 per cent with an 800kg camper trailer on the back, and more than 60 per cent when towing a 1200kg poptop caravan.
