lots of variances in gas mileage are because of the driver most of the time. Could be simple issues like, injectors too. The 30mpg was all freeway so that seems about right if its consistant with no hills ext...

If your a heavy foot, 20mpg is average, if you do alot of city driving 20mpg is about right. If you drive 80+ 20mpg is about right

If you want to get 30mpg (freeway) you just have to slow your acceleration when leaving the city, set cruise control to 65 (to stop you from going faster), don't mix in e85 and don't get stuck in traffic on the freeway.

I get about 23mpg combined and my last trip to vegas yielded me about 26-27mpg on all 91. Op is also in Virginia, so they may not have any ethenal in there gas? I'm not sure... plus that extra 93 octane helps.
