A good rule of thumb is that for every 10 mph increase in speed you will see a 10% decrease in fuel economy.
My experience is with two separate RVs. On each I got a 50% increase in gas mileage for a 14% decrease in speed.
1. Class C on an E450 chassis - 70mph and 6mpg vs 60mph and 9mpg
2. Airstream TT behind F-150 - 70mph and 8mpg vs 60mph and 12mpg
I drive Memphis to Colorado Springs (1,000+ miles) to visit my sister.

Pretty simple math. So many miles and only so many days. You need to talk to my boss so I can get more days.

I am pretty much like everyone else out there.
I try to run at 65 and will switch in & out of Cruise Control based on the traffic flow and terrain!

I have only towed with my current set up around 4000 miles. So believe it or not I am still working on finding the sweet spot. I suspect that it is right around 63 - 66 mph! When you don't run the same route all the time it can be a bit tougher to dial it all in.
For those of you that tow at 80 - what the hell is your hurry? If you are in that much of a hurry take a plane! !
Happy Camping & Safe travels!
