yes i think it was my first time getting over 30mpg and i was fairly pleased. 68mph is the right speed for me too (not 60mph). strange considering that my car is running at such high RPMs on the highway. 3k rpm at 75mph and 2.5k at 60mph. uphills dont affect my engine load too much at 68mph but going slower at 55mph may require a downshift to prevent 100% engine load.
