Hmmmm, good points all. Thanks for the input and giving me another way to view this. I'll have to pay closer attention next time I drive but I "think" in the eco mode she will lug down to about 55 in 6th before kicking down to 5th. I'll settle for a even 15MPG and ask no other questions. :-)

If I run in Econonmy mode on the transmission I can run between 57 and 59 easily and stay in 6th gear. This is about 1500 rpm. I am going to run about 59 on my up coming 2 month trip and see what that does for the economy.
