Interesting, I posted mine before reading the other responses.  I'm
intrigued with how many said their mileage is getting better--I keep a
pretty detailed trip log so can compute mileages readily, and I've noticed
mine getting a bit better as well.

Also thought I should add that I do not haul slowly--truck and trailer are
quite stable, and I am usually out there doing at least the speed limit,
even if that is 75.  I have two trailers, both heavy steel--3-horse with LQ
(about 4500# empty), and a 10-horse stock trailer (about 4800# empty).
Mileage doesn't seem to drop much with the latter.  And I pass a lot of
semis.  My mileage goes up if I slow down.
