In my 93 with the a/c cranked on the interstate doing 70 for about 3 hours on end, I would get about 28 (automatic) when going back and forth from school. At a slower speed like 55, if you believe the 70s propaganda, you will get your peak fuel economy. A lot of people like to disable the a/c and power steering for an extra mile per gallon, or overinflate their tires to potentially dangerous levels for an extra mile there. But I'd rather be comfortable flying down the highway at 70+ than feel every pebble on the road as I drive along in 90-degree-plus weather. Plus, the ashtrays are next to impossible to use effectively in a car with the windows down. I'd day your results are plausible, nice work!
