Drag increases with the square of velocity at highway speeds. So increasing your average speed from 75mph to 90mph could lead to about a 40% decrease in mileage in theory.

Try driving with economy as your first priority on your next tank and see if that makes any difference. Sorry I can't help you with exact numbers any better.
