I drove 1500 miles this week, almost all highway. I traveled very consistantly at 78 mph. I first went through a tank of gas with the top up and got 28 mpg (its painful to drive 300+ miles with the top up). I then went through a tank of gas with the top down and got 25 mpg.

I dont have a computer in the car to give readouts on mileage at different speeds. For those of you that do, what highway speed gives the best mpg? I am wondering what I would get if I drove, say 60 or 65 mph on the highway. Its never going to happen, I was just wondering.
