I get 32 mpg in my boxy 2006 Scion xB @ 70 mph.
I get 41 mpg @ 60 mph.
I get 49 mpg @ 50 mph.
These are all multi-hundred mile drives setting the cruise control.
30 and 40 mph trips get 54 mpg or greater, per my Ultra-Gauge.

My wife's 2012 Elantra gets 29 mpg @ 80 mph, and 48 mpg @ 60 mph. Slowing down is the best thing you can do for fuel economy on long highway drives.
