Normal... if I cruise at 75-80 on the freeway and refrain from "playing", I get awesome mileage

Is this from the trip computer or did you actually calculate it from fillups?

Default Yeah I got approx. 430 miles to a tank on a couple road trip stretches last month
I was averaging 80-85 mph with occasional run ups to 95-100mph, but not for very long.

Default It's off a little... a little on the optimistic side :)
next time you fill up, Zero the trip counter, and then when you fill up next time, do your own math and figure out your average MPG...

Default Oh, also
reset the average MPG on your trip computer when you fill up the first time, too... that way you can see exatly how "off" the TC is...

What does a backwards '6' on the trip computer mean?
