On i-275 coming in to Tampa I was able to achieve an average of 101.7mpg driving at approximately 55mph over 8 miles

Nice!
I drove I-4 for 8 miles at 5:30 this morning at around 63 mph and never averaged over 75 mpg! Once I hit the surface road though, and dropped to 50 mph and under, I cruised at 100 mpg the whole way. It's the stops and starts that kill my mpgs. Unfortunately there is no easy way to go from Lakeland to Winter Haven that doesn't involve a lot of stops, other than I-4 and a toll road.
Turtle just won't maintain over 60 mpg if I drive at 70 mph on the highway, so I rarely venture onto I-4 unless it's way early in the morning where I can do more like 60 without irritating everybody.
