Don't remember, but that portion of the road on I40 heading east , the trip gets my best MPG. My LS 430 did it's best mpg there too. I have made the trip multiple times. Maybe it's got a good tailwind or something there.

No pictures, but I did manage 29.2 from San Antonio to Fort Worth, 80-85, A/C on, though it was December (it was still 75-80F).
I've also gotten just over 600 miles, I think it was 604, on a tank. Denver to Chillicothe, TX. A/C on only part of the time, but way elevated speeds for about 200 of those 600 miles.
There are areas of this country where there is truly nothing. US-87/287 through NM, I'm looking at you.

Don't forget soybeans!
When driving across Canada from PEI back to the U.S. west, we made it a little into Saskatchewan when we decided, that was enough, and we went south, over dirt roads (in a 40' diesel pusher coach, pulling a 4x4) to North Dakota.
To be fair, when the wind was right, the soybeans plants, well, their flowers, looked like water...all the way to the horizon.
Still, Canadian 'middle of nowhere' positively shames anything in the U.S., and we've been to most of those places in the U.S. (those accessible by wheel, at least).
