This hasn't been my experience. I have (eventually) posted every tank since new(May 2012) in my Owner's Journal thread. During that time I've made 14 trips where the entire full measurement was at a speed of 70MPH or greater. Of those my lowest mileage was 31 and the highest was a little below 36. This was based on calculated speed (distance/time). The lower ones included some stop and go traffic in the process usually followed by exceeding the speed limit more than normal. At least one of them includes periods of speeds between 90 and 100 for about 30 minutes.
