Oil was changed before the 3000 mile, 6-day trip. I really think my change in fuel economy was the additional 5 allowable MPH to the speed limit in Oklahoma and my desire to get home. The last 200 miles, I was pushing 85+.

Same here, maybe 13 if it's just highway driving. Since my mods, it doesn't seem to matter if I am driving highway or around town, I get the same mileage.

FWIW: I took a trip half-way across the state a few weekends ago, and I wanted to see what kind of impact my speed would have on my mileage. The trip was about 170 miles each way, on the gentle hills of I-80 in eastern Iowa. On the first half of the round trip, I drove a pretty contant 70 MPH, and my mileage was about 16.35 MPG. On the way home, I drove 62 MPH and my mileage went up to 16.90 MPG. A modest difference, but noticeable. No mods on my '07 H3 other than a Nav system and Wrangler Silent Armor tires in the same size as the originals. I only have about 5000 miles on my H3 thus far.
Monday, I got my K&N installed, and I am anxious to see what kind of difference this will make.
