I routinely drive 65-75mph, getting 27.1 past 800 miles, (SD) yet have just got front end aligned. Toe is good now, should get better, we'll see.

the 85 has a taller rear gear ratio and slightly more power. thus it will get better MPG than an 82/3 SD

I would say around 27 to 27. Don't count on 30.
