On a flat highway, aerodynamic drag (and therefore speed) has a much greater impact on mpg than weight does. Weight comes into play much more in the hills.
I tow mostly in the flats, and usually at around 60-62 mph. At that speed, my 2003 Hemi Ram typically gave me around 8.0 mpg (one trip was 6.9 mpg). My first tow with my EB is coming up in a couple weeks. Your experience of 8.7 mpg at 65-67 mph gives me hope that I'll see a marked improvement over my Ram. Even 8.8 mpg is a 10% improvement!
