I'm Currently getting approx. 27mpg stop and go and 35 hwy.

I have a 2.2l ecotech. I have no mods.

My highway driving usually entails 80 to 90mph.

Your mileage will plummet if you're a hard braker.
My car gets it's best mileage after a fresh oil change. My car thrives on new oil. Make sure to change your filter at every oil change. It's good to check your airfilter too. the manual recommends 15.000 check, by I check mine every 10. If it's clogged or filled with dirt and debris, change it. It give the acdelco code right on the air box. I'm going with a K & N for my next change, that's only because you can clean and recharge it. The paper filters don't really hold up to that. If you can't afford a paper filter (rough 7 usd) you could shake it out or blow it out with an airhose. But I recommend just replacing the air filter.
