Default Finding max fuel economy?

I was thinking if I got a chance to run on a 4 wheel dyno that might give a rough estimate of max fuel economy minus aerodynamics. Go up to highway speeds and beyond and see what the dash read after holding for a few seconds.

What do you think?

I think the engine timing is maximized for the 30-40mph range. I would bet you get the best mileage somewhere in there.
