I find that this is very true. I have a scan gauge in my Vegas and I keep a pretty good eye on it basically out of curiosity.
I can tell you that according to that gauge hills and headwinds cause mileage to take a big hit.
My best mileage was under 65 mph , no generator, not towing and no wind.
That's a big old loaf of bread that we are pushing down the road ! But the Vegas / Axis seem to be pretty slick areodynamically speaking.
Compared to the Chevy based super C I used to drive it is much quieter at speed with much less wind noise.
