Same here. Anything over 65 for me is a legitimate 2mpg loss. Going from 10mpg to 8mpg is a big loss percentage.I don’t event do 65 anymore. I keep it in the 55-60 range, and I can usually squeak out 10-11 mpg. Doesn’t seem like much, but the difference between 7-9&10-11 can be huge when towing.

Great timely subject for me. I just got back from an elk hunting trip to Colorado. We drove from NJ to Steamboat Springs Co. with a round trip of 4300.
We tent camped and was thinking about buying a smaller camper for our next trip but was curious what speeds were safe, how much it would impact gas mileage and how much additional time it would take to get there and home?

What do you drive on I-15 and I-80 where the speed limits are 75 & 80? I took a trip down to Lake Powell a couple years ago and stayed in that 68-70 mph range on I-15 and seemed to match most other TT & 5th wheel pullers. Remember seeing a big diesel & 5th wheel come rollin' by me at around 80 on I-15 and 40 miles later there he is pulled along the side of the road with a blowout and the rear vinyl on his camper blowing in the wind. Most our state hwy speed limits in Wyoming are 70 anymore so 65 isn't so bad but jump on I-80 and those 80,000 lb rigs are blowing your doors off if you drive 60-65.
people who may be new to towing (or just ignorant) can forget how long it takes to stop at high speeds.
I think the other thing is having a truck capable of towing your load...
