I just did 345 miles from Arcade, NY (upstate NY) back to my house in Hillsbourgh, NJ, on 3/4 tank of gas in my '05 Camry, averaging 80mph (yay night time driving). Thats close to 32mpg using cruise control a little over half of the driving time.

best with my car was 275 miles and when filling the car took 14 gallons of a 16 gallon tank. So my MPG was 19.64
The best for my truck being lifted was like 340 I think, and it took 23 gallons of a 26 gallon tank. I was getting about 14.78 out of that tank. Not bad for 4.10 gears and 35" tires.

It's all in the way you accelerate, once you are up to speed it doesn't make much difference, like I said above that was my best. Probably averaged about 25-27 overall.
