From what I personally observe typical speed on the interstates today is around 80mph. The difference in mpg between 65 and 80 in my experience is very significant, generally 25 to 30%.
Pulling a trailer at 80mph would definitely tank the mileage quite a bit.
I pull mine at 60-65 as well though. It's bigger than the OP's, but smaller than what a lot of the people on this site pull.
