I've been at a 35 mpg plateau since June. I can eek out 1 or 2 more occasionally, if I drive a lot slower than I'd like, but 35 seems to be it for now. ...can't complain, the car is only supposed to max out at 29, but of course I want 39. I'm a bit obsessed with fabricating a belly pan for it, but have not put in that great an effort to get that project off the ground.
My suggestions: map out a new route for your most-travelled drives, jettison some weight, add a pound or two to the tires...and just enjoy the drive. One good windy/rainy/trafficky(?) week will always be waiting around the corner.
