you do need to slow down.
And you need a gauge of some kind (scangauge available here)
once you can instantly track......you will realize the addvantages. Tanks to tanke is a very passive appraoch to improving mpg.

bump up the air in tires is a must(read other threads)
Once you have 'instant abulity'
, do a 10 mile run up & back at 60, 06, 70, 75.
Also, if you can do any coasting/engine on, this will help. (I do not coast to below 50mph) Usually only going down a hill.
The you will have you own proof that slowing down is woth it.
