They're usually traveling slightly less than 65, so I have to plan every move and adjust speed to pass before the person going 80+ in the left lane catches up. When I go back north, I take 101 because there's just a lot less traffic after Santa Barbara. I just set it to 65 and cruise all the way back.

As for SF, I also get about 15 MPG. I don't think there's a completely leveled street in SF . I live near Lake Merced and getting onto the freeway is a breeze for me. I also commute to Santa Cruz (75 miles), going on the 101/85/17, best I can get is 23.5 MPG, also while trying to squeeze every mile out.
