I have about the same commute. 65-70mph gets me the best MPG. Much below 60 and the engine has to work harder in 6th gear. I usually reset my MPG each time I leave the house to make the 60 mile drive to work and IF I don't stomp on it much I get around 27-28. I got 29 on one trip but I drove 65 and slower the whole way. It's really hard to do. lol.

Not sure how accurate the MPG gauge is in the Premium but since I started driving slow I can make 2 1/2 trips to work and back before I fill it up again. Still too many miles and I'm going to buy a beater for DD asap.
