Go slow. 60mph max. 55 if possible.
If I try to keep up with 70 mph traffic on the interstates, my mileage really suffers. So I limit my speed to 60mph. Or go off on slower speed secondary roads where even with the occasional towns and stoplights I get good mileage. In some states, the trucks have a max of 55 on the interstates so I fit right in there.
However you do it. Just go slow. .

Edit: This thread has been quiet a while and I didn't remember that I had already posted and that the OP found he got good advice.
