If you mean the B4 then if I am very very gentle I can just about scrape 30mpg out of the thing.
I can't help you with the towing stuff though I'd imagine it would be similar to the UK 2.0 legacy. Lots of low end torque though, which should be good for towing.

1520 Kilogrammes (1490 for an RSK saloon) normally aspirated cars weigh about 100 kilos less. With over 250 Bhp and a tonne and a half it should manage it.....

I get 30+ when I've got grip-free snow tyres on. But S-03s bring the handling back, and the fuel consumption reality, too

Cheers

It was a constant ~75mph motorway drive in 4th gear with nothing interesting happening apart from one stop at a services

Never acheived that mileage since, however!
