as someone stated above, its all abt keeping the RPM low....dirving on 40 in first gear is more fuel consuming than driving on 110 in 5th....so...the question is wrong in this topic...its all abt the RPM at the end of the day.
and abt tyre pressure, i always drive with 32 in all tyres. absolutely fantastic average and comfort too
Plz also calculate how much you actually save by driving slow on motorway and whether it is worth the trouble.

@lafafa.
Next time you are on motorway close the windows and turn on AC, you should get better milage.
The best speed is 100kph.
Larger engines are more economical on motor way (as engine to weight ratio is better)
