I'll do some calculations by hand this week but I'm pretty sure my dad has done it already and our OBC is just about right. We actually got 37 mpg on an all-highway trip doing 75-80 mph the whole way.

I consistantly get 29-32mpg depending on temperature and mood.
I shift ~2200-2700 rpm in normal driving. I never allow it over 2500 until it's at normal operating temperature. When I'm playing with it, I run it to whatever rpm I need to. I drive an 05 MCS/JCW, and I get 25-27 mpg with my 40 mile commute. Even on an interstate run from Chattanooga to Atlanta and back, the mileage ain't any better. I think the only way to get better than 30 is to drive it down Mt. Everest...
I usually cruise at 3k, sometimes 4k (if the traffic is spirited); If I want to accelerate quickly I shift between 5500 & 6000, but I've been known to bump the rev limiter on course
