I'm beginning to think I have the magic mileage edition though since I seem to be outside the norm.

You are the perfect example that
what you drive in has infinitely more impact than
HOW you drive, furthering my point.
My old commute AVERAGED 25 mph, I never saw north of 45. No guessing either, my 25 mile commute took me 1 hour during peak traffic (thank god for flexible workplaces, <30 minutes if I left home before 6am). It would have been great to brag about an average of even 30 mph, and sounds like you average closer to 40+. You're right, there's not much trouble involved in getting over 32mpg, other than changing your life around to reduce traffic.
And based on OP's 2nd post in this thread, sounds like he's got a pretty heavy foot to boot.
And before you cry 'But Atlanta has the worst traffic in the nation!' statistically Atlantans spend ~25% less time in traffic than LA/SF citizens per the first google result that shows up.
