getting mpg's in the 30's is not that hard, especially if its on flat ground. My personal best ( iknow i need proof) was around 36 mpg avg speed was 79 mph, the ac was on too
I am moving out to california at the end of this week, i will be sure to take some pics out on the road. i might even get better miliage once we get out into the midwest, GA has hills......

Best was 29.1 MPG on an entire tank.
No A/C, flat roads, and averaged about 65MPH.
Usually on road trips, doing 75MPH with A/C I'll average 26-27.

....and PS, the car's trip computer can be manipulated to show anything. Just reset it on the top of a long hill, and coast a few miles, it’ll show over 65MPG. Some guy did it and posted a pic here a few years back. I’ll try to find it.

If you come down them, you have to include going up them.
