I'll relax a bit, confident that I'm still driving one of the best.

Hmm, I guess so! Long periods of highway use yield almost 34 MPG (Odometer
is currently ar 5.6K)

Let me say that I almost never travel below 85mph on the interstate. My
mileage, averaged over 33000 miles (10 months) has been 28.8, I think.
I have the exact figures, but they're in the car, and I'm not!
