I get 28-30 mpg in the vette on the hiway crusing @ 75mph. It is a manual trans and 6th gear is an agressive overdrive. Infact 5th gear is OD also.

In stop and go at 55mph or lower the milage sucks and drops to about 18-20 mpg.

DW's car chevy tracker gets 20-22 mpg.

Around 23 MPG in the 4Runner if it's not towing anything.
Around 18 MPG in the Jeep unless I'm 4-wheeling in the back country.
But then, a trip to work and back involves crossing the continental divide twice. I'm sure they'd do better on flat roads at sea level...
