This is really similar to my experience. My highway MPG is lower than on surface roads, though my gearing mod this year, to get very tall VX/CX gearing, has closed the gap somewhat. I used to stay off the freeways for months at a time. Now I drive on the freeway daily, for probably 25% or a third highway miles, sometimes half, on every tank. I get around a little faster and that pleases my 11 year old daughter better.
