I had a 1991 Festiva that I towed a 750cc Polaris Waverunner to the lake the whole summer, could run 75 in 4th all day long, never towed in 5th, got about 34mpg running in 4th, I have also had a 1989 Carb Festiva 4-spd, towed a Polaris 500cc scrambler 4x4 4-wheeler from the middle of arkansas to just north of branson mo, that car hardly ever saw 4th gear, I did better behind semi-trucks because they were smooth on how they cornered through all the twisty 2-lane roads as to where drivers in cars were so herky jerky, that trip I got 26mpg flat on the floor in 3rd gear doing 70mph for 200 miles, mind you this was all before ecomodder site was formed, wish I would have had this knowledge when I had these cars!!!
