By slowing down. 17MPH for city driving is sometimes what I get but for HW that's too low. Keep it 70 and below.

Recent trip, and got 24.25/gal on my highway driving. It was all premium on this trip, so I didn't see the better gas mileage some promise vs 87 octane

I get 21 overall over 44K miles on this car.

I get about 25-26 highway, when cruising about 80 mph. Best I have done is something like 460 miles on 18 gallons at 80 mph on cruise, could have gone over 500 miles, but would have run dry. I get less if i have to weave through traffic, or go faster.

City driving (to work and back mostly) I am getting 20-22 usually. But my daily drive to work has several long straight stretches at almost highway speed, so probably I would get less in true city driving.

Yes, I have gotten 30 on my drives to PA and back. I find that the harder I drive the better mileage I get, go figure
