Default Best Gas Mileage ever

This past weekend my wife took me to Elkins West Virginia for a train ride. on the way back my Mustang held a steady 29 - 30 mpg on WV rt 33 and I79. Almost too good to be true the car does have a K&N Filter so I suspect that helps. The average speed was 72+/-mph. Needless to say I'm very pleased, how does this compare with you?

My best is 31.3 MPG over a 400 mile trek, mostly freeway at 65 MPH. I hope to improve this with my new programmer, but we'll see.

I used to get that before I install my last mods. I still get 24 mpg on the highway.
