Figure the fuel on that uhaul at closer to 4-5 mpg.
When I had to rent a uhaul and a car trailer to get from Buffalo NY to 
Little Rock AR a few years ago it cost me 2 grand for the equipment and  
a minor fortune for the gas ( and that was before the gas prices went 
nuts ) and all I was hauling was the car, the box was empty , car pooped 
out, engine folded on the turnpike and had to get  it home. That was for 
what was basically a one day run.
