Default Surprising mileage report! 24.4 mpg on freeway at higher speeds

I recently took a longish road trip (several hours) and was driving at "higher" speeds. I was also passing a lot of slow ***** (so a good amount of accelerating). Surprisingly, my average mpg (which I reset at the beginning of the trip) came out to 24.4 mpg!

I was pleasantly surprised.

Default Yep that's what I see, but I can get to 27mpg on longer stretches as well

the 6 is not that hungry. Now my XC90 TT 6 is pathetic

I got 28.8 on a highway trip once, did all the accelerating with the cruise control stalk.

Default I got up to 28 avg (and still going up) on a highway-only trip....

Before I got back into the city and then it went right back down again. Oh well.

My goal is to break 400 miles on a single tank one day. I figure I can do it, no problem, as long as the trip is 100% highway.
