As I read it, many of Dean's mileage posts (that you feel are uncommonly high) are measured on the highway as he commutes, on a daily basis.
I don't see your current mileage, fuel you use, where you live, and what tranny you have in your post--that would help more.
24mpg "overall mileage" isn't bad, given what we do know.
If it's high mileage you're after, dropping back to 89 octane will give you more MPG (miles per gallon) but less FTD (fun-to-drive). A side benefilt of 89 octane if you live in a cold climate, is that it is easier to ignite, making those cold start-ups easy.
