My mileage was dropping for a while until I changed out my spark plugs (NGK Iridium) and wires (Magnecor) - as soon as I changed them, the mileage/performance jumped back up. I inspected the old plugs and wires and couldn't see anything wrong, but it sure made a difference.

What RPM's is your engine at when you are at 65? It should be between 2000 - 2500 RPM - maybe you're not shifting into overdrive?
Looks to me like its time for a tune up!!!
I get horrible gas mileage but then again my previous car got 32 MPG
My car is an automatic so no overdrive for me?
I dont think.. Is there an O/D button?
