If your tongue-to-trailer ratio is correct (10-15% of TT total), then in my opinion you should just slow down. Most combinations have a "sweet spot" speed-wise, and it sounds to me like you've found yours. If the trailer doesn't sway at around 60, that's a good speed for you. Another consideration may be that the tires you have on are likely limited to maximum speeds of 65. Why push the edges of more than one envelope?
And since speed is the most important component of fuel economy, your wallet will appreciate it, too.
