What do you consider "fast highway riding"?
On my trip up north last summer, I got around 40-42 mpg fast highway
riding (90-100), and 45-50 in the mountains, pretty heavily loaded.
I thought I would never run out of gas once I hit curvy roads, from
the lower average speed with the increased range!
Most of my riding here in FL is fast highway riding, and I usually
get around 40-42 mpg. If I run out most of a tank in town, I've
gotten up to 45, but that is very rare.
