Congratulations!
Yeah, pretty much drive slow. I try to stay between 55 and 65 on the freeway. When I drove my new '04 back to Washington State from Corning, NY recently I was able to average 81mpg for the trip by staying in this speed range. I do have the warm air mod which helps stay in lean burn, and I don't use the AC unless it's unbearable.
Good luck!
