Thats unusually high for an ecotec, especially if you drive hard, assuming that your calculations are correct. The epa ratings of 21-24 city, and 30-32 highway, are very close to real world mileage. I got 21-23 city, and 30-35 highway. Over 35 on the highway is an anomaly, and so is more than 23-24 in the city, which in your case is most likely not true city driving. More like rural city driving.
