Back in 2008 I towed a utility trailer from California, way overloaded and perhaps not properly loaded -- it swayed back and forth at any speed over about 56 or 57 MPH, so most of the 1800-1900 mile trip was made at or under 55 MPH.
I never want to travel that far again, at such a low rate of speed. But I did get over 40 mpg for the trip. At such a low speed, wind resistance was not a factor.
