It sounds optimistic, but I think it's really close to what happened- it was under really good mpg conditions. It was just one run, which got rid of all the messing around with parking, etc. that pile up over a tankful. It was also at around 45 mph, where you're going to see better results than at real highway speeds or in an EPA test.

Great work, especially without instrumentation. Just don't expect it to be normal.
