For MeAgain to speed up from 60mph to 65 mph towing his TT to get better fuel economy.... well, I believe that he believes that.
Read it again. I was able to run 6th gear vs 5th gear. And yes hand cal mileage improved.
I was very surprise to find towing at 16K combine with the trailer above was almost the same mileage towing at 24,500 with the trailer below when towing at the same 60MPH in 5th gear.
Couple three things might have been in play. The 5th wheel was much closer to the cab to help push air flow over it. The 5th wheel has LRG all steel tires with low rolling resistances. The 5th wheel has a curved rear cap to bend air flow around the rear.
5th wheel was listed at 13'3" and TT at 11'2".
