I'm sure a few extra mpg could be had by keeping the speeds well under 75mph, but the 2mpg isn't worth being harassed in the slow lane when you could be making tracks in the fast lane or at least avoid getting pelted by rocks when the trucks are overtaking (It's usually when they change lane that the stones get kicked-up).
The country hwy are the best for slow speed cruising (50mph)....at those speeds, my old 98 Civic could get better fuel consumption then my new Yaris, but at faster speeds, the Yaris gets better consumption.
