I averaged a touch over 25 on a recent 1,400 mile trip in 100+ degree heat with wife and 2 kids. About half that was highway (80+ cruise controlled mph ...hey, its California!), the rest city (LA/Palm Springs) and mountain roads (including almost 10k elevation through Yosemite). AC was on the entire time, and I didn't baby it for better mileage. Another recent 600 mile freeway trip with Pops in about 90 degrees with AC on resulted in 27 mpg at about 75 mph.
Given that its California, I likely got 1-2 mpg less due to CA's reformulated gasoline. I suspect those getting top-end mileage performance are travelling in conventional gasoline market areas, those with lower (but not fun-based) mileage are in reformulated markets resulting in around 5% lower fuel efficiency.
