I've checked a whole bunch of times so far with 2700 miles driven and only once did I ever get 31 mpg on a highway only trip at 55 mph since speed limit is only 50-55 in my area.
72 mph as mentioned is not possible as everyone else is limited to 55 tops.
Police will be happy to ticket those over the speed limit.
My sport auto gets about 26 mpg and down to 25 sometimes or even less.
I have a scan gauge II to assist but still stuck at about 27-28 mpg at best.
I got 28 mpg in my over 200 HP modified MINI driving the same roads.
I do have a hill to climb about 4-5 miles long each day but it is offset by the long hill down when leaving. It's not excessively steep about 680 foot rise from sealevel.
