Cruising speed only has a little bit to do with mpg.
80mph in 6th is barely 2700-2900 rpm.

It's how you get to that speed, how you handle passing or slowing down and returning to previous speed, what gear you drive in regularly, etc.

The more often your rpm gauge goes (and stays) in the upper ranges, the less mpg you will have.
