That's about one-third more fuel consumed to haul something which adds at least a third to the air drag and weighs more than one-third of the tug alone... sounds like you're doing fine. I wouldn't expect miracles from any aerodynamic aid, but even small improvements are always good.
By the way, these numbers are reasonably close to what I see with our minivan and Boler.

Information is good. Lack of information is not so good, but misinformation is much worse. Check facts, and apply common sense liberally.
