I know my maxima, when it was running good, got excellent fuel economy running nonstop at about 80. While it seems perverse, I think it hits a fuel economy sweet spot about 2500 rpms, so coupled with it being in the highest gear ratio, plus some cautious drafting, I managed to get 30 mpg on a tank.
Sadly though, I rarely can go that fast regularly, nor that nonstop.
