It sounds like you're doing a lot of good hypermiling practices. Keep your speed down, if you're not already doing so. I used to get only 26 mpg with my Sentra or my wife's AT Ford Focus and Hyundai Elantra, when I pushed them at 72 mph. When I slowed down to 55-60 mph, my mleage shot up to 33-40 mpg.
I've never been able to wring much mileage out of automatics. I get ~39 mpg out of my wife's car on long highway trips in the winter, and 42 mpg in the summer, but around town we're lucky to get 30-35 mpg. I rented an automatic Yaris last Summer, and averaged 42 mpg for three tanks with my 15 yr. old grandson and our luggage.
I regularly get 400 mile tanks out of my Sentra, and I've got the thirsty SE-R Spec V.
