If we are considering that our cars have similar displacement, frictional properties, gearing, weight and BSFC (mine is 0.43 hp/lb/hr) then I guess your car is probably much much more aerodynamic than mine. This is because from my experiments anything above 35mph starts to really take a hit on my mileage.

this a graph for my car, MPG vs. MPH



If i'm not in the mood for pulse and glide I take the slower route (side roads and such) and crusie at 35mph. Sometimes the results are better than highway P&G.
