The lowest fuel mileage I've had was just over 6.0 MPH and the highest was about 11.0 MPG. Normal fuel mileage is 7.0-7.5 MPG. I tow a twelve foot, dual axel, enclosed trailer with a 900 pound motorcycle, and at least 400 pounds of tools, gear, etc. in the trailer.
I have found that headwinds produce the worst MPG. Hills are bad, but a lot can be gained on the downhill runs. Normally my speed is about 65 MPG.
I only use cruise control when the roads are flat and there are no headwinds.
