Gas Mileage and Range - What are you Getting?

Gas mileage
I have a 2005 Acura rl with about 147000 mile. I took my car for the first time long drive. When to Newark Airport New Jersey. Around trip was 154 miles. I got 30.7 miles per gallon.
I included the picture from my dashboard to show.

Gas mileage is the worst feature of a terrific car. 290 HP, 4100 pounds, AWD, and only five forward speeds is an uneconomical mix.
I've historically gotten 14 puttering around town, 17-19 in mixed driving, 26 highway, and 30 at a steady long-distance 70 mph. My car is in tune, but the only way it'll ever get more is if I drop it from a cargo plane and measure the MPG as it plummets to earth.

Speaking of mileage, who has the most miles on a 2nd gen RL on Acurazine?
There is an 08 RL for sale on cars.com with 311K miles.

There'd be less fuel economy improvement than you'd think. You'd get rid of a little driveline friction, but the car usually defaults to mostly FWD at cruising speed anyway, and you'd still be carrying around the weight of all the extra driveline hardware. Steady-speed highway driving is mostly an exercise in inertia and aerodynamic drag anyway.
