I've backed mine up on paper, too.
31+ on long I-95 (NY to VA) trips using cruise avg 72
26-29 on hard-driven Merritt trips (NYC to Hartford, driving like I stole it, avg 80mph but usually about 75 with jumps to 95+, lots of hills, turns, WOT takeoffs from those fun 30' gas station onramps)
17-18 around town, lots of congestion where I am, the SID seems far more optimistic in the city.
I've noticed mileage drops off precipitously as you get above an average speed of 75 or so, more so than from 55-75.
I'd agree on tire pressure. I have the tire pressure on the high side, I bent so many wheels in my NG that it's become a habit of mine even if the 9-5 and its rims don't bend so easily. I hit 36 on paper once in an NG900SET (same or worse EPA numbers than a 9-5) because the idiots at the garage pumped the tires up to 46!
When I have the roof rack on, it's an automatic 1.5mpg hit.
