If I could get 20mpg average I would be ecstatic. What speed do you drive at on the highway? I've experimented with cruising at 60, 65 and 70 and haven't noticed a big improvement at the slower speeds...

Bumper to bumper traffic could explain it but I do that on my commute which is 6-10 miles of interstate but always in traffic where I get near 17 mpg. I seem to be enjoying the power more lately and getting a bit less.
Steady state 70-75 mph is where I get 20 or so. Try setting the cruise for a 20-30 mile highway trip and see what you get.
