This has been beaten to death. There are so many variables. I could drive your car and get much better or much worse mileage on that same trip.
I can average 27 MPG pump-to-pump, hand calculated if I stay at a steady 55-60 MPH. At steady 70 MPH I get 23-24 MPG. But again, that can change drastically due to the ethanol content of the fuel in addition to a dozen or more other variables.

This past Saturday I drove about 186 miles to and from Mexico Beach, FL from just outside of Tallahassee, FL. By sheer luck I'd reset my mpg the night before right after I'd gassed up, I usually never mess with it and try and see my long term mpg average.
Driving out approx 92 miles it was 17 mpg and coming back approx 94 miles it crept up to 17.4, roads were fairly open and held to the speed limits which varied from 35mph up to 55mph.
My 2010 GT has 3.73's, runs a Bama 93 Performance tune, Steeda UDP's & CAI, Pypes shorty headers, o/r x-pipe and pype-bomb exhaust. It's a manual and for rubber I have Nitto NT555 255/35-20 & 285/30-20.

My 05 GT convertible 5-speed with 4.10's, 295 rear rubber, and Mac Boomtubes got 27-29 MPG highway going to class 45 miles away.
Now with the longtubes, O/R ProChamber, Bassani Sports, and tune added, I get 24-26 MPG highway.
My office is 4 blocks from my house, stoplight at every one. I get ~16 city to the office....
a 50/50 mix of driving is usually around 19-21 MPG.

I usually get around 25-26mpg if I stay at/around 80mph. If I stay 65-70 I've seen as high as 27-28mpg. I'm averaging about 20mpg with my combined commute.
