60-65 is as slow as I would go on the highway and even then, there are safety and practical considerations as to why that might not be a good idea.

My 2001 ECHO would get 53 mpg at those speeds.

Finally, you REALLY go 50-55 on the highway!?!

Ya, I wish the Yaris would get as good MPG as the old Echo. Seems strange.

Hwy - 50-55 yes, Interstate, no.....

Some parts of Interstate-45 between the North Interstate-610 Loop in Houston and the border with Montgomery County have a 60 MPH Speed Limit. Same with parts of the North I-610 Loop.

I go 55-60, but I always stay in the slow lane.
