i drive the same route frequently with the exception that the 70 mph run south to Portland from Olympia i have only done a few times. but for Olympia north and back, i nearly always average what you are getting in the summer time.

now i have averaged 60 mpg on 6 of 7 tanks since May so your numbers could be construed as being a bit low for some
