update - 35.6mpg, cruise control set for 72mph, and this time with significant city driving (approximately 33 miles) which was not a factor in the first test.
i wish that i had filled up on the highway so i could compare purely highway results. but i did notice that at 72mph i was better keeping up with the pace of traffic and in some instances passing. which to me seems a safer position - not holding people up, not being passed all the time seems a lot safer than when a 18 wheeler is passing in the lane immediately to my left.
next, i'm going to do a true 72mph target speed, highway only so it's comparable to the first one. then a 67mph. i'm curious as to what speed is the point where we see the maximum change in MPG.
