2011 elantra mpg

My wife has a 2011 elantra with the automatic. The 40 mpg claims have so far evaded us. Driving the car for 1 year, so far 27,000 miles on it. We went on vacation to the Carolinas, actually traveled almost 2,500 miles. Used the scan gauge out of my truck, and hand figured all gas mileage. Was a real disappointment to average 33 mpg for the trip. My wife travels 110 miles a day back and forth to work. So far her best has been 36 mpg. 35 is easily repeatable. Winter mileage in upstate NY on snow tires is 32 to 33. Overall, it is a decent car, and the mileage is ok. It just does not see 40 mpg, as Hyundai and the EPA claim.
