I have to double check on 34, I know I've hit 33. My car/logs are not with me at the moment. That is all highway driving, no city/traffic. Around town I would get about 25-28. I know I get over 30 on my highway trips unless I hit a ton of traffic (same goes for the 300E). I regularly exceed EPA estimates on all the cars I have ever owned and driven just through having a light foot and anticipating stopping/accelerating. You could call my technique hypermiling but if you were behind me I doubt you would notice it.
