I managed 22 MPG doing anywhere from 70 to 90, with an average of about 85, on the interstate driving from Houston home....also included some city driving at both ends, so keep that in mind.

You call shifting at 2800 rpms driving conservatively? I normally shift around 2000 rpms when i'm driving in the city. I'm not entirely sure w/ your sixer, but you shouldn't have to take it up to 2800 to keep up w/ traffic and drive conservatively.
