You may want to check to be sure that the computer is not thinking that you are putting in imperial gallons. The manual has instructions on reseting to US gal. Can also check the accuracy of your computer by checking mileage the old fashioned way. Reset your trip odometer every time you fill up, and do the calculation.
Actually, there is a good chance that you can get this kind of mileage on the road at 65mph. You don't say what year, but I got 35-37mpg on my '95 Aero last Summer when I had to drive for a distance at 70mph. At 75-80, I get around 30 on both the Aero and CSE. My '87 9000 got around 32mpg at 75-80 in the midwest, but when I got it in the Rockies, the elevation caused it to jump to 40mpg+. So that may be another factor for you, what is your location?
May also want to check your speedometer. I had 5-7% error on my '87 and '95CSE. Assuming that the spedo also affects the odometer, that can be a pretty significant error in calculation.
