Fuel consumption ?

Hello everybody,

Each time I read the towcar road tests in the magazine I become more puzzled as to the somewhat large differences in the fuel consumption figures for Solo and Towing,  the most recent ones being for the Skoda Yeti. these figures show a solo figure of 45.2 mpg.  and a towing figure of  only 28.4.  a big drop in consumption of 16.8 mpg.This seems quite excessive to me.  When towing, my car only drops by 4 mpg. How about you other caravaners ?
