rbpru, the same thing (less than 9 mpg) has happened to me with a little 14 foot trailer and a bad headwind -- it's all about wind resistance.
On the other hand, one time I was chased from Utah to Wyoming by a strong south tailwind and got 14.5 mpg at 60 mph -- woo hoo!
I've often thought that there should be a way to plan a route so as to take advantage of favorable winds, the way sailing ships did in the old, old days. But I am too lazy to figure it out.
