About 5500 rpm cruise, tucked. Front tire is stock rear replaced by previous owner, mileage unknown. I put 5000 miles on since July on just a cut can(muffler) and released timing in first three gears(aTRE). Tire pressures about five over recommended along with 90 degree 650 cc engine I can up shift early around 2500-3000 rpms. This is 90% highway at about 800-1000 above sea level.
I was at a solid 69 mpg then returned timing in gears 1-3 and Rotella 5w40 synthetic from regular Rotella 15w40.
Most of it is driving style as the OP has found out.
The biggest improvement was adding a Hahn Racecraft turbo to a Saturn Sky as I'm just under 40 mpg!
