on Texas Interstate 35 between San Antonio and Dallas, at a weight of 65,000 lbs GVWR at a speed of 65 mphI don't believe it. I-35 has been a mess for years. No way they could average 65. If they said I-20 Fort Worth to Abilene or perhaps 1-45 Dallas - Huntsville, I might buy the data.

Yeah, I never get the mileage they post on the new car window sticker. They must do those tests with a 30 mph tail wind.

My first unfamiliar thought was as to how LEVEL that stretch of road is....Texas plains and all? You can get lots better mileage if there are minimum grades to deal with.
