It's not a complete cure depending on the grade and it's length but I've achieved 8+ mpg towing a 3500lb towed.

Why turn off the cruise control? Just push the right pedal to speed up and help the cruise control overcome its inability to anticipate the upcoming hill. Take you foot out of it as you crest the hill and let Otto resume control.
