You know.....funny thing about the gas milage. We just moved to a fairly mountainous area of Colorado from the flatlands of Minnesota. It seems that ALL of my cars/trucks are getting better fuel economy out here. The coasting downhill must have a larger impact than the powering uphill out here. I have seen a 1-2mpg increase on all of my vehicles lately. That may be the explaination for my better numbers. Thank goodness it is a little better because the gas prices are not pretty, as much as $2.35 for prem depending on where you buy it.

I would agree on the used Cayenne S route. You can get them now in the high40s (tho' they are relatively hard to find).
I tow my 914/6 race car with the C-S (going to Watkins Glen this weekend...yea!). and it tows like there is nothing there. I used to have a v8 explorer, and the C-S is a far superior tow vehicle.
As far as gas mileage goes, I agree with the other post...the C-S is just about as good as any other tow-capable SUV out there. I get ~16mpg mixed city/highway (on the highway I get 18-19). The one thing that makes the Cayenne a bit more expensive on gas, is that you can't use the cheap stuff. Still, unless you drive 100 miles each day, I doubt $s difference is significant.
