    Oscarmax – what type of journeys are you doing with the caravan in tow ?

    Usually down to the New Forest twice a year, a trip down to Devon, plus a few more local sites, approximately 1500/1700 miles, the Outlander averages about 28/30 miles towing using the ICE unit, used to be 32 miles on E5

    Sorry mate my question wasn’t describe in the best way ? Do you do any long journeys without the caravan – if so what is your MPG ?

    Long journey 68 miles on Sunday staring off with a full battery, it was minus 6 degrees, heater on, seats on etc, we averaged exactly 54.6 mpg, when we are travelling using the ICE unit only at 60mph we regularly see 36/37mpg, we never drive at 70mph but I would imagine it to drop to 32mpg.

    Kezo a PHEV would definitely not suit your requirements, you would be better suited to a FHEV, is your Tuscon a pure ICE.

    Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally I get confused and often say the wrong thing.
