For the longest time, I've been trying to figure out how you got the extra 2-3 mpgs over me!.... I do 55mph, but I spike over it according to the traffic flow (mostly when merging).

I hear you on merging. In the rare instance where I do have to spike over 90km/h it's on merging to stay safe, but once I've merged and am in the right lane I almost never have to go over 90km/h and will go a little slower if traffic permits.

In the winter I go much closer to 80 than 90, but in the summer I find myself often going closer to 90km/h. I guarantee you that if you made 55mph your max and tried to bleed it down to 50 when safe that you'd pick up those extra few MPGs.
