Hey spitfire, is your car a 5spd? What have you done on the interstate to increase mileage? Mine will get right at 37-38mpg on the interstate with my cruise set to 70mph.

I did get 41mpg on one road trip doing 70mph with the cruise set (with a trunk full of luggage and 1 passenger!). I made the same roadtrip again the next year and only got 37mpg while doing everything else identical. I still can't figure out why I couldn't duplicate it.
