Who told you that? I'd be surprised if you could get that with highway MPG's. You have a heavy car, a slush box with a 1:1 final gear ratio (no overdrive), and no lockup torque converter (you're slipping ALL the time). Maybe with a manual and hypermiling techniques you could do 23-25 city, but auto? Maybe downhill with a tailwind...
