Default Gas milage during Ohio trip

There has been some discussion regarding MPG on the forum and the way it is figured. Well I just went over the numbers from my Tampa to Ohio trip and I took all of my receipts and figured each one between fill ups and the average MPG was 28.60 MPG. some higher some lower, but not by much. Top up and top down, a/c and no a/c (especially in Ohio!)
I did not believe this could be right and changed the batteries in my calculator. Same numbers.
I suppose when the cruise is set at highway speeds the MPG will always be better. Most of the time I had it set on 80+ but with restroom and food breaks my trip home of 1100 miles in 17 hours averages 64.71mph
Has anyone else come up with these kind of numbers?
