75 MPH is at 2750 RPM for me with the automatic. The aero factor really seems to come into play at that speed though and my mileage averages 19-20 MPG. As long as I keep my speed around 70 MPH and RPMs at about 2500, I have no trouble getting 22+ MPG.

Damn, maybe I should start copying Green Dragon. A 10mpg bump would be nice.
