Paul,

The best I have ever seen  was 30.7 following our RV going from Montana to
Spokane, WA. Avg speed was 62 with cruise set. Distance was about 280 miles.
My current 200 sedan routinely gets 27-28 (actual) if I drive below 70. If I
average about 77 from home to Spokane, I get about 25.5. From Seattle to
Spokane I get abot 26.5 avg'ing 77. (only one mountain pass - vs 2 from MT)
