My SUV gets better mileage at high speed cruising due to the gearing. As long as you’re not constantly accelerating/decelerating and going with the flow.

It's called pulse and glide.

With the cruise set at 65 or 85, you’re in 10th gear (iirc) and there’s no significant difference. Variance is more driven by traffic in the city. Once you start working the pedal, mileage drops ~20%.
