I've done two 75 MPG US round trips recently.

Both during the hottest weather of the year so far. (Coinky-dink?)

Both also on extremely fuel-economy-friendly roads: country roads with limits between 60-80 km/h = 36-50 mph.

Interestingly: one of these trips was loaded down with passengers, aero-be-damned (no kammback, windows wide open).

Tank MPG is sitting around 71 according to the SG.
