Civic towing a trailer and bike
Today I went to a drag strip and took my sportbike in a small, u haul trailer. I just put a hitch on my civic a few weeks ago so it was my first time towing with this car.
The trailer was a 4x7 open trailer with sides and combined weight with the bike was about 1000 lbs
I was getting about 32 mpg @ 58 mph...at that speed without the trailer and extra weight of the bike, I would usually get about 45 mpg
I wanted to do a test pulling the trailer without the bike, to see how much of a difference 400 lbs makes without changing much of the drag, but i didn't get a chance.
