I only averaged 12mpg running at those speeds. I'm also using the second to top tune (which actually gives me a couple of miles per gallon better results)

With the 37's (which actually measure 35 or 36" tall) with the top tune and no trailer, I was getting 17-18 with the cruise set on 82-84.

Lower tune, bigger tires and trailer and lower speed gave me less mpg.
