19mpg towing is very much a worst case.
I've just got back from a 5 week vacation touring NW Scotland (about 3000
miles in total of which about 1200 miles was towing a 1500kg caravan. The
Trooper averaged about 22mpg towing!! Solo, we got over 30mpg (36mpg on
one tankfull - must have been downhill all the way!!).
Yes, maybe you do need a diesel Trooper. :-)
Cheers
