What MPH gets the best MPG?

When I drive to my Brother's house, 220 miles each way, I get there and back on one tank, with four dots left on the fuel gage. Done it many times. I try to cruise at 75 mph. I've checked a couple of times when I filled my tank (after 440 miles) and both times was just over 29 mpg.

That's like my brother who drives 18 miles to work and back every day (36 miles round trip) in his manual Z. He constantly gets just over 400 to a tank. Then again, he also drives like an old lady.

I bet if I were to make the same commute every day, I'd barely break 250 a tank.
