Exclamation my mileage!!!

I have had my 1995 SVX for about 2 years now and out of the 7,000 miles I put on it about 6,000 are hway miles. I have never gotten over 23 mpg. what do you think is the cause for this???.... maybe it is my cruising speed. I usually cruise around 80-85 mph. ya think if I slow down I'll get better gas mileage?? what do ya think is the best cruising speed for the svx as far as mpg?? now that I think about it there was once or twice when I was traveling to Virgina Beach from Greensboro and cruised at about 95-100+. I got really bad gass mileage, about 19-20mpg. I guess speed does have a direct affect on MPG then.... how about you guys cars???
