Real World mpg

I have changed my display to show MPG by trip so it resets every time in the car, but I’ve found low numbers in the city, but for my 35-40 mile commute, I’m getting nearly 25-26 MPG cruising around 65-70. Yesterday was 25.7. Best I’ve recorded was 27.6 on a trip. This one did have a traffic slowdown crawling at lower speeds.
 
Recently my GF and I made a trip from Cherokee County NC to the Biltmore in Asheville. Going there, we only got 22.5 mpg. Mostly 55 mph highways, 93 octane Ethanol free fuel, with stock Michelins, mostly on cruise control. I was kinda shocked, as usually Miss Daisy gets 24+ mpg. Shortly after starting the return trip a few days later, I noticed that Miss Daisy was no longer in ECO mode, so I put her back in eco mode. By the time we got home, Miss Daisy was reporting 24.6 mpg.
