I routinely saw single digits calculated MPG on my FJ80. The highway was not its friend. Still miss that truck….
One other observation, particularly with my trucks, is that there’s a huge difference between 65 and 85. Our Ram will return about 22 MPG on a rural highway going 65-70, but more like 17 MPG at 85 MPH. Good reminder that in the drag force equation, its velocity squared.  So if you really want better MPG just slow down, advice that I doubt any of us will heed!
