About 21mpg, does that seem low?

I am getting like 20.5 mpg, I drive about 80% highway miles. 1LT with auto V6, does that seem low? What mileage do you get? I saw one guy post 31mpg freeway. The car is new and now has about 2100 miles. Curious because I don't ride it hard.

Thanks Austin, by the way, love that 45th model. Looked at one two weeks after I bought mine and kinda wished I got it. But then I couldn't have bought the winter vehicle I needed. I am hoping to have mine paid off in time for the 50th edition

Ahh maybe thats it, I put it in sport mode sometimes. But I guess its within normal expectations. I was hoping to get 23 or 24 since I drive mostly freeway, but of course now I don't let the uphill parts slow me down like I did in my previous car, so I am probably suckin the gas down. I appreciate all the responses.
