I was able to achieve 28.5 mpg + at 80+ mph with a car full of me and luggage and 3 cases of Canadian beer - the trunk was literally full and the back seat 1/3 full - in the mountains of Kentucky and Tennessee
Its clear to me that if you really tried ( I wasnt ) and has no extra weight, was tested on flat ground and had a determined driver 32+ would be really EASY to achieve - more if you went 55 mph ( while people passed you at 80+ )

Sorry, I think I was asking both of you as you each indicated you were getting way better gas mileage then I have ever gotten. Currently I am getting, maybe 24 MPG. My driving is fairly simple 17 miles each way to and from work. Even on trips where I head over to Orlando I maybe was getting 27 and that was running around 78 mph with the cruise on.
Then again, I live in Los Angeles where I've been told traffic is not so good.

Nice. I just came back from doing 800+ miles over the weekend. In my GS350 - full trunk and 3 other passengers - I averaged 28.5 mpg. Cruise control was set at 78mph for most of the trip. The speed limit on I-5 is 70mph. I wonder what difference I would have gotten if I didn't have all the luggage and people in the car.
