Dacia Duster 4x2 DCi (auto) Towing Mileage/MPG

We went to the Lake District from Kent last weekend towing a 1300kgs caravan. On cruise control at 60 mph it returned 25.6 mpg. At 55 mph it returned just short of 30mpg - and that figure was rising. A significant difference. Ok, it's only done 600 miles yet so the engine is still tight and I had to keep it under 2,500 rpm - interesting to do with an auto up some hills. "Towing with a new engine?!" I hear you cry? I confirmed with The Dacia Helpdesk that "keeping below 2,500 rpm and not racing a cold engine will be OK" They then followed that up with "...should be OK". "Should be"?  Thanks.
