I tend to drive 64 at the most even when the speed limit is 75. Seems to get the best right around 60-64 now with the new parts I put on the truck.

Funny thing is when just driving the truck, I am getting around 21mpg on the highway at 60. Thats with the air dam, side skirts and mods on the bumper and grill area.
A hit from 21 w/o trailer to 12 w/ is a LOT of loss. Are you in a hurry? If not there should by all rights be further room for improvement w/ driving habits alone. Combine those with aero mods for the ultimate. :thumb

Good luck!
