I also have an '04 TL. On long trips I usually go about 75 mph and get 33 - 34 mpg. The other day on a 20-mile stretch of road, with cruise set to 60, I got an unbelievable 38 mpg (trip computer).

I can honestly say I've never even considered going 55mph just to say on some gas money. If I want to save on gas money I will go the speed limit, but not less and just set the cruise.

This is from my trip from Portland Oregon to Ft. Hood Texas. The highest i saw my MPG was 27...but as stated before, drive flat out and who cares. Had three suit cases and some duffle bags in the back...plus running with a porsche at 115 in cali, plus fooling around 125 in the desert. But my normal speed was around 70-80, but as the trip says...70mph average.
