On the climate, load, and fuel as well as overall driving conditions.
Here in our globally warmed winter, with 225-50-16 winter tires than may roll less easily, on level ground at 75 mph more less, pushing dense (30F) air out of the way and (blush) using low-test, 27 mpg more/less on an Aero Wagon. Global average drops to 24 or so when I revert to mostly uncrowded city driving.
Best mileage ever seen in an Aero Wagon (not mine) - 34 on flat Southern soil, (Florida to Atlanta) creeping along at 60 or so on 3 Pilots and a Space Saver "donut", on "high test". It being a press car, I suspect the tires were pumped up to "over 100 mph" standards. Under those conditions, I observed a 10% (3mpg) fuel savings difference between 93 and 87 octane. Yes Virginia, you are allowed to use 87 - it says so in the manual!
