I had the same thing happen last year with my Commuti-car, hauling it to the energy fair on a trailer, I think I got 26mpg, but of course my car is lighter and I didn't have a motorcycle with me, but I did have the car on a trailer behind a Ford Ranger.
Towing is why I miss having a trailer hitch on my Civic VX, my old VX had a hitch, I used up an entire tank of gas hauling lumber, dry wall, lead acid batteries, all things I would have used a truck for and got 39.9mpg with that trailer behind my car doing truck like things.
