.29 drag coefficient + average speed

I've read that driving between 55-65mph will net the best fuel consumption out of most passenger vehicles, since speeds above 65mph increase drag exponentially...

now, does the fact that our car is so 'slippery' do anything to bump that number up, perhaps making the best average crusing speed for gas mileage any higher, say; 70+mph?
