Question What MPG at 60mph

Just curious what you guys are averaging @ 60mph?

I picked 60 because that is the top speed of the EPA highway testing.

I can get close to 30 at a constant 60 mph pretty easily. However, EPA testing goes up to 80 mph ever since 2008.

For a portion of the overall test that is used to adjust the regular highway and city portions. It is not used to determine directly the highway numbers. The regular highway portion still has an average speed of 48, max of 60. The high speed portion you speak of lasts a total of 8 miles with a max speed of 80 and average speed of 48.37mph. I figured 60 would be a nice compromise.

my 5.0 tops out at about 24.6mpg doing 60mph all day long. If I were to overinflate my tires a tad I'm sure I could hit 26 without issue
