You can do it by slowing down. I've topped 165% of EPA highway mpg in all my cars on long highway trips. The AT Elantra is the toughest to achieve good mpg in.

You only have to top 158% of EPA highway mpg to get 30 mpg with your Jeep. 55 mph maximum speed for a tank of highway driving, and you should be there.
