Im going to be taking a about a 300+ mile round trip to Palm Springs in less then two weeks, and its going to be all highway, so I'm planning to do a test to see how many ALL HIGHWAY miles I get out of the ES.
I'll do my best to provide a write up for you, and provide some pictures of where I put the fluid through. Give me some time

I currently get about 325 normally on a tank of gas. I'll have to try this BG fuel injector cleaner. 
Let me know how your highway miles are. I filled up last Saturday coming from the carshow in PA on mid grade and at half a tank I was at 200 miles so imagine the highway miles are gangsta.

Just check your tire pressure frequently and use cruise control. I also like to draft semis to save gas, but not so close where you're tailgating them. No amount of saved gas is worth rear ending a semi or any other vehicle. You'll still benefit from drafting even at 3 car lengths.

Well guys I'm back from my trip. I know I estimated driving over 300+ miles. But I only ended driving 245.8 miles. Before I left I filled up a full tank of gas. 210 of the miles were all highway with a/c on and full luggage in the car also 3 ppl. The rest of the 35 miles were all city again with a/c on, but no luggage and 3 ppl. The gas tank is now at half tank and the car went 245.8 miles. I know the test isnt complete cause I wanted to see what I can get out of it for the whole tank. But if I continued the way I did, I maybe would have gotten over 460miles estimated. Regardless, I think 245.8 miles for a half tank of gas in the 100+ degree temps is pretty damn good. I'm pretty happy with the way it performed.
