    My speed doesn't change. Trailer tires are rated for 80mph so I go 80

    Went on a trip over Labor Day weekend. Boat and all the coolers in it weighed about 3000 lbs. Mostly highway driving averaged 11.0 mpg. Used the whole tank of gas to get there. This is after installing the B&G tune. I used to average that when not towing anything.
