I would say 80 miles spread out over the 800 could have been a slower speed around 65-70mph. I was at 32.1 before we stopped for some food/gas. This was also with a few spirited blips to keep me awake! Also with 2 passengers and luggage.31.8 @ 75 mph is pretty good. Did you have a tail wind? One day I was curious about the mpg difference between speeds and tested it out on a very flat road in the desert. I literally went 50 miles w/o touching the brake or changing lanes w/ cruise set at 75. I started the test once the car was up to speed. I'd have driven further than 50 miles, but I noticed no change in the mpg between 40 and 50 miles and I wasn't headed anywhere. I know 50 miles probably isn't enough miles to give a definitive number. 800 miles, however, could be more accurate if you were at cruise speed the whole time, w/o dipping to slower speeds. Did you do any dipping of speed?
