Most companies that make cars actually tun them for best performance at a certain MPH. Believe it or not a '05 silverado extended cab v6 (Like mine) is tuned (per chevrolet) for 62 MPH.
You are correct btw slowing down can save ALOT of gas. If I have an emergency at work and have to drive 80 to get there I usually burn about 1/4 of a tank. If I am driving in on any normal day at around 65 I burn less than 1/8 of a tank. . . .

Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun. - Ecclesiastes 8:15 KJV
"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
