VR6 fuel consumption when towing a bike - any ideas?

[Tim in Holland 0]

I'm looking for an OBD2 VR6 at the moment out here in Holland as a multi purpose car:

Daily(ish) driver, but not used for getting to work

Track car for in the damp/wet or cold at the Nurburgring

Tow car to tow my bike to the Nurburgring (200miles each way) and other track days.

Now I've the VR6 fuel consumption varies a lot depending on how it's driven, but anyone got a feelfor what I'll get towing 300 kg of motorbike and trailer at 60 mph on motorways? I figure the slower speed may alleviate issues slightly, but what do you reckon, low to mid twenties, high twenties, or low thirties?

Thanks

I would say mid to low twenties

Thanks, is that experience or a guesstimate?

Is a guestimate m8, I get 27-30 mpg when driving normally on motorways, so I would just assume that towing a load would reduce it abit.

I kind of expect something like that, hoping the travelling at 60 mph will make a bit of a difference. I guess I'll just have to suck it and see!

On the down side 2nd hand cars are stupidly expensive in Holland, going to be about 3k GBP for an OBD2 VR6 with around 100k miles on the clock....

Why not come over heer and buy then take it home?

They are a bit cheaper over here

You have to own a car for 6months whilst resident abroad before importing it to avoid import tax, so it's really too much hassle, one of the reasons why I'm in the process of selling my Subaru Legact GT-B back in the UK. (280hp twin turbo 4wd estate with Bilstein suspension, anyone interested?)
