Fairly flat from Austin to Dallas. I don't have My Trips activated, so I don't know the avg mph. I got stuck in 3 separate stop & go periods for several miles each during the trip. Probably a good 5 mi each time. I also had a good chunk of time over 90 mph (making up those stop & go sections). Minus the S&G, I was never below 75 mph.
Speed limit is 80 or 75 for the majority of the drive & I've found if cruise is set at 85 (really 83), I don't get a second look from the LEOs.

So I guess what you're saying is that if it weren't for the 3 stop and go periods and the good amount of time over 90 mph, you might well have topped 30 mpg?
I'm not doubting you - you have the picture to prove it. I'm just surprised the S58 is so much more efficient than the N55 and S55. And also surprised it beats the EPA estimate by such a large margin.
As the saying goes, YMMV.
