I'm not sure what my freeway fuel economy would be if I cruised at 60 mph.
I'm sure it would be better than the 26 mpg I got on the Las Vegas trip. My average speeds were between 85-90 mph, with ocassional jaunts about 100. 
The problem is that when you are in the middle of the desert, you lose your sense of speed, and when I'd look at the speedometer, my speeds were frequently inching above 90-ish. It's just the speed the car likes to run at.
