The best gas mileage I ever achieved in my 318i, back before ethanol was year round, was across Washington state over 2 passes and many hills, albeit with a tailwind, 38mpg @ 80mph. Seemed like the best gas mileage was around 75mph in that car. Of course, I don't think I ever drove it below 60...so who knows.
One more tip, don't slow down for corners, ever. that's wasting gas. in fact, I think going faster through corners may* actually increase gas mileage.
