Our cars are all different, have different tires and HOW they are driven all influence mileage. Then there's weather and seasons.
I've found that running 70-75 generally gets me 26-27.5 mpg, but I've had trips where it's been around 29 mpg. And a couple when it's been about 25. And as noted in a previous post, on a long trip with sustained speeds that car got over 28 mpg.
Now if I slow down to 65, turn on cruise control, and just let the miles roll by I'll get 30-ish mpg.
The '96 that my daughter drives had skinny, cheap, 195/65x15 tires on it when I got it. It was getting about 30 mpg at 65-75 mph. I put on some 205/55x16 tires and the mileage dropped to 26/27.
Just sayin'....
