I'm thinking you guys aren't maintaining a set throttle position (note I didn't say speed). If you're using cruise control, stop. LOL. Cruise control will vary the % of throttle used to maintain the speed.

On the freeway, my instant mpg ranges from 40-60mpg simply because I keep my throttle at 24% and let the road determine my speed. I'll only speed up if my speed dips down to 55mph and let off the gas once I get to 75-80mph. My average speed in my usual Sac to Bay Area commute (about 65-70 miles) is 65-70 mph, usually averaging 45-50 mpg.
