We used to own a 1995 Dodge Neon, manual steering, no AC, base engine with automatic. I got 41 MPG in it ONCE on a road trip at 80 MPH moving with traffic in the fast lane. Temperature was 80 degrees. I don't remember wind direction, but am sure it was a tailwind.
Driving normal (steady 60 MPH), I expected 40 MPG on the highway. Got 46 MPG at that speed once under ideal conditions.
So, yes, good MPG at high speed is believable under ideal conditions. But a one year average MPG is more realistic.
