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...

Here is an interesting chart I like to use :
Green Car Congress: Fuel Consumption at Higher Speeds
All of them go down, but for some reason, in this test, the Mercedes C180K had a much gentler slope. On the other hand, it also starts near the bottom of the pack. I was thinking this was the aero-benz, but 2006 is not the right year.
