Our Expedition EL gets ABYSMAL gas milage of 9mpg. The same or worse than when we pulled this trailer with the Explorer. Of course the Expedition weighs 1700lbs more

Dont feel bad. Our Honda Pilot gets between 9 and 11 pulling our little trailer- usually closer to 9.

Yep. My Pathfinder can get 22 mpg under perfect conditions -- 59 mph on a flat freeway. But towing with a headwind I get 10 mpg, and that is with a very small trailer (see below). It is just part of the cost of trailering.
