Surprised by my MPG today

I just came back from Disney in Anaheim drove back to San Diego steady doing 65 mph on the 5 south, I re-set the DIC when I got on the freeway in Anaheim and checked it when I got home in San Diego and I got a 32.8 MPG
So with gas being 4.60 a gallon here I was very pleased I took my camaro on this trip.

Thanks, I just wanted to share

OP has an SS in his sig/avatar though lol. I don't think I've ever gotten better than 22-ish on highway, even using 6th gear.
