Remove the roof rack crossbars and pump the tires up to sidewall max, you should be able to get 30+ pretty easily. I could get 30MPG tanks doing ~72MPH on cruise with hills.
Remember that all the energy is coming from gasoline. After all the conversions, electric isn't very efficient. When accelerating, blip the gas a bit to kick the ICE on so you don't waste your battery power doing what the ICE is most efficient at. Don't be afraid to give it some gas, most of my acceleration was at least keeping up with traffic, the money is in the coasting. Use electric in parking lots and to extend glides.
