The trip home (without trailer) I ran the same 75mph and got just under 18mpg. I just expected/hoped for better mpg than I'm getting.
Something here doesn't add up. There is no way you lose 11.5 MPG pulling a low-profile 3700# trailer. It may be something you aren't aware of such as headwind while towing and tailwind while not. Elevation rise getting there and downhill coming home?
I've towed a few cars on trailers which is somewhat close to what you were pulling and my MPGs would go from 17ish to 12ish.
