On my most common longish trip--375 miles each way from NH to Rochester, NY I get 25-28 mpg. This is almost exactly half 2-lane where I tend to push it and half NY Thruway at an indicated 80 (which is really about 76-77).
Assuming the usual head or cross wind on the Thruway I get 25-27 going out, and 27-29 coming back. However, I have gotten over 30 mpg on this run. I fill up at the ends, not the middle, so pure highway is harder to measure. And I do the twisty 2-lane parts kinda aggressively.
I go again this coming week, so will do a mid-point fill right as I get on the Thruway and do a more accurate measure. But I do know that over about 73 mph mileage definitely slips.
