I also get about 23mpg on the highway. Im either going the speed limit or 80 depending on my mood but it doesnt seem to matter.

If you plan on taking lots of very long trips, I highly recommend a model with cruise. I get about 23mpg cruising at 80mph.

I agree at 80 mph, mileage drops from 27 mpg to 22-23 mpg (versus at 70 mph)
