Agree that 80 to 85 is a comfortable touring speed, but you might pick up some attention in most parts of this country doing that.
The bike will run sustained speeds of well over a hundred, but I wouldn't if you want to keep your license. I have run my S3 for over a half an hour at 110 mph and it didn't even break a sweat.
Stick with 5 over the speed limits and enjoy the scenery.
Far as gas milage on sustained trips, I'm not sure but this weekend I am taking a long trip both today and tomorrow, so I will let you know how she does.
