Mark,
I make an 800 mile round-trip to SoCal to visit my mom several times/year. I started driving slower after realizing my SE-R, wife's Elantra, and stepdaughter's Elantra were all giving me only mid-20s mileage on that trip.
A couple of years ago, I retired, and started driving to Bryce Canyon NP in Utah annually. I decided to try getting 40 mpg over the 1400+ miles. Now it's a real-life video game. I got 51.5 mpg in my Scion over 1213 miles driving back to the Bay Area from Gallup, NM this past Summer.
