Just a random thought today. I wonder which vehicles can get the best fuel economy numbers at steady state higher speeds, like 70-100mph? I remember reading about aerocivic's car getting ridiculously great mpg figures at high speeds, but what about the avg commuter cars?

What about VW TDIs? I would suspect they would perform well. My old 1993 burner certainly would not, it revs at 2800rpm at 60mph and only gets about 32mpg at that steady state speed...
