If we all slowed down to the speed limit, we would drive the price of oil down to $50 a barrel again in a couple months.

45 to 50 mile commute each way, almost all highway, 2008 Toyota Yaris generally getting 380 to 400 miles between fill-ups
Cruise control at 65 mph get 37.5 to 38 mpg
Cruise control at 70 mph get 34 to 35 mpg
In one tankful, doing 65 most of the time but drafting close (aka tailgating) to big trucks (usually doing 70 to 75 mph) for 30 to 40 miles of the tankful 40.5 mpg
Last tankful, drafting about 100 feet behind any vehicle that is handy - usually doing 75 to 80 mph (not comfortable in my little Yaris) also go 40.5 mpg. Driving signficantly faster and getting 6 ot 8 percent better milage seems signficant.
I'm a bit tired of my experimenting - my best bet is driving 65 in the right lane, and getting 100 feet behind a vehicle doing likewise on the rare occasion that I come across one. If you happen to be behind me doing 65 or so, jump aboard!
