Usually I only see a mile or two per gallon reduction...sometimes less are lower speeds.

Very little difference.
On one run we actually had one of our RT's (we both drive RT's w/trailers), get better mileage with the trailer than without. It may have just been a fluke but one explanation is that the aerodynamics of the 622 trailer are so good that it smooths out the air flow coming off of the back of the Spyder and actually decreases the drag.
Penny and Rick have owned many motorcycles starting in 1974 with Hondas, then to Suzukis, Gold Wings and ultimately Spyders.

We usually got 30-30 mpg 2 up pulling the trailer!
