Tires are probably holding you back. My '05 will usually get over 40MPG even going 80MPH (don't judge me!) unless there's a good headwind or bikes hanging off the back. That's with LRR tires at the sidewall max and half or full lower grill block. Cold doesn't seem to hurt much with long trips vs hot and using the AC. Short trips are definitely worse in the cold.
