I get my best mpg around 60 mph. The trailer tires are rated at 65 mph. Sit back in the right lane, light a cigar, grab my cup of coffee and watch the scenery roll by.
Works in the big truck too as it's governed at 63 mph. That's why so many trucks run 62ish as that's where their governor's are set. Canadian (Law 100 km/hr or 62.5 mph) and U.S. fleet trucks are in the 63-66 mph neighborhood for insurance purposes. They get better mpg if they open the engine up but insurance costs win.
