Mileage better than I had hoped for

I've been working in Des Moines Iowa for a few months and driving the 225 miles home twice a month. My method for figuring my MPG isn't very scientific but it's pretty darn close. I knew my numbers would go down with the 65-70 MPH I have to drive to keep from getting run over on Interstate 80. So far I am averaging 28 MPG at an average of 67 MPH using just my MPG numbers from only the interstate commute. I'd say that's pretty good for a '97 Ford Ranger with over 250k miles. I couldn't be happier with my little truck.
