30 mpg easy if not more...

I find that it's really all about the speed.
I regularly drive 170 miles to see my parents and I've tried different speeds under roughly the same conditions (i.e. air temp, traffic, car load, etc.). I've noticed the best MPG when I use the cruise control at around 65 MPH. Anything more and the MPG goes down very slightly at first and then more at higher speeds (80+).
Cruise control makes a big difference as well.
The best MPG I'd gotten in my 9-5 was 35+... 65 MPH with cruise control.
