Is going 55 mph really the best speed?

^ This year I've hit 522.9 (841.5km) miles on 9.877 Gallons. I've hit the magic 500 a couple more times this summer season.

55mph/no drafting(truckers usually are faster)/lots of highway/I like the down hills (you infer what you want).

If I'm alone, no A/C ever- just 1 inch down on both front windows. If I have passengers, I make them comfortable- only complaints I get is I drive too slow. Even my parents tell me to drive faster if they are the passengers.
