I get 32.
My average speed is 75 mph.
98.5% of my driving is highway with 45 minute to 3 hour non stop runs two times a day.

No doubt you were joking but fuel consumption and speed have very little to do with each other. How you get up to speed and how often you have to stop and accelerate back to that speed has far more to do with it.
If you feel the need to jackrabbit from each start to get satisfactorily low mileage does not mean you are "driving correct" or that the guys with better numbers are driving wrong. This is completely why comparing mileage is a fools game.
