25mpg isn't unheard of ... here's my experience:

'02 GS430 / 400 mile round trip hwy excursion a few summers ago:

* averaged 25mpg at ~75mph w/cruise engaged and a/c on; a few +85mph bursts
* averaged an even better 27mpg at ~75mph w/cruise engaged on the return trip; a/c off and on; paid a lot of attention to maintaining my mpg saving momentum; probably only half as many bursts beyond 85mph

Otherwise, I'm getting ~19mpg. It'll be +21mpg on Friday after driving back and forth from work on the fwy all week, but the weekend drives the average down to 19mpg by Sunday night.
