I do see a drop when I have to tool around town for a more significant portion of my time but the lowest I've had for a tank is 28.9MPG.
I'm usually fast and first off the line, and not afraid of a little fun but I do normally go no more than 9MPH over the speed limit with a few rare exceptions.

I am in the exact same boat, I am just shy of 27,000 miles and my signature shows 31.1mpg. I averaged closer to 33mpg before I switched to my new wheels and tires, now I am hovering around 30mpg give or take.
I commute 40 miles each way to work and the average speed is probably 55. I have an auto, but I do not drive extremely slowly and I do have fun while driving. 95% of my driving is "highway" or at least highway speeds.
