At the last couple of conventions Josh T. pulled a uhaul 5x8 trailer (which
is about 7 ft tall), acts like a big wind sail, but with 500 hp you can
still pull it 110 mph :)

I pulled the same size trailer from NY to GA, about 3000 lbs (was
overweight) and a stock motor (180k 92 motor) won't pull it more than about
90 mph downhill.  I got about 15-17 mpg during that run, in the throttle
just to keep it at 70-75 mph.  Still better than Josh, he only got about
9-10 mpg.  We stopped at every gas station from NY to Madison WI.
