Adding over 700-pounds to the T-100, I can get the same mpg, as solo.
There's no reason the trailer couldn't weigh 200-pounds.
I should be able to see 40-mpg at 65-mph with the new trailer. 140-mpg-e if an EV Truck.

I'm going to call it right now, they are full of it and that article is nothing but click bait.
I'll believe it when I see it.
