I'm late on this discussion but I just got back from a long road trip from New York to Toronto and back and like to throw down 
So my first tank was 75% hardcore city driving and 25% highway and I got 24 mpg. The next tank I used fuel injector cleaner (the pour in the tank kind) and was 80% highway 20% fast moving city driving and I got 28 mpg.
The last tank I used I only got 3/4 the way finished because I finished my trip but by the halfway mark on the fuel gauge I was at 318 miles! This was ALL highway and smooth running at that (about 70mph/avg). Some hills, which I agree totally destroys fuel economy.
Bear in mind that I have a JDM engine swapped in that only has 40,000 miles on it and internally looks new.
I also tried both 29.5psi and 40psi and I think the latter is definitely too high. Ride is harsh and no real fuel economy gained.
One last tip. Use fuel injector cleaner for your first tank of a long trip and make sure your spark plugs are in really good shape. Under the right conditions, this engine goes way over 30... (i stress ideal). Good luck!

I get 18mpg with 80-85% highway with AC. I get around 19 with AC off.
Plugs 3 years old (iridium) with 30k miles on them, fuel and air filter changed every other oil change. Seafoam done at least once a year, fuel system cleaner 4x a year.
Timing belt recently done.
Heck i got better mpg out of my old low 12 second GTP. I could get 400 out of a 18gal tank. Im luck to get 300 and that is pushing it with low light on for 2 days. Most time i fill up when light comes on and im sitting at 260.
