350 hwy does sound low for "normal" cruising speeds. First check your tire inflation,plugs and air filter. If you have an 86-90 check your distributor cap/rotor and plug wires. After you're sure all that is good do an ECU reset. Just disconnect the battery for a few minutes (make sure your have your radios security code before doing this). Then drive around gently for about 20-30 minutes. The ECU will "relearn" a more economical driving style (a very simplified explanation).

I have a 94 LS Coupe 6 Spd. Driving back from Niagara Falls, where I bought it, I got about 23 miles to the gallon. Most of this 9 hour drive was done between 80 and 90 mph, which translates to around 2800 rpm in 6th gear. That also gave me a cruising range just under what you said you get (approx 15 gallons and 23 miles per = 245 miles per tank). It sounds to me like you are pretty much in your optimal range, especially if you don't have that low 6th gear.
