My engine still has the Active Fuel management, but I've noticed that in Trailering mode, it does not activate, even at slower speeds.
I turn about 3000 rpms at about 63-65 mph on the highway pulling either my boat or my 20' drop-tail trailer with my Jeep on it. I get about 13.5 mpg hauling the Jeep, which on the trailer with my old BMW motorcycle together weighs about 6,300 lbs.
Without the trailer and in trans normal driving mode I turn about 1700-1800 rpms at the same speed and get about 19.8 mpg.
