2001, 9-5, non-Aero, Sedan - The 5x8 gave me about 14-15mpg from San Diego to San Jose, with both the trailer and car loaded up, one driver, at about 60-65 mph.
That includes some stop-n-go in the LA area (of course) plus climbing the Grapevine (mountainous portion of I-5 between LA and California's central valley).
The car is rated for 3500lb, 165lbs tongue weight. If you go with the drawtite hitch (like me), try to get a drawbar with more rise than the drawtite-recommended one (only 5/8ths rise)... it worked, but the trailer would've been more level with more rise on the drawbar...
