Have a Superchip and doesn't change milage on any setting. 1 time I got 18.5 mpg on 1 tank full going from Texas to Colorado driving about 70-75 mph. I check the milage by comparing miles driven and gallons put in the tank, not the digital readout overhead.

You should be able to do a good bit better by backing down to 68-70. 2,000 rpm or lower will show substantial gains in mileage. I set my cruise control on 2,000rpm (which if memory serves is about 68 mph), and I can usually knock down 20mpg on long drives in "flat" states.
My mileage drops off into the 16-17 range if I keep it up near 75mph.
