Mine isn't for MPG (Dispite me driving it easy right now because the Insight is down). I have larger tires (205/65r15?) and I'm hard pressed to get 30mpg, but I can take a hairpin at 30 and hook up good :P.
I' guessing you're not running tires that big. That's about 12% over-sized!

I've either got 195/55R15s or 205/50R15s, either of which is pretty close to stock in diameter.

I'd be content with 30mpgs out of it. It's always come in around the 24 mark. Bigger, heavier wheels and tires probably don't help. She had other issues that I resolved already that would have been dragging down the fuel mileage. Hopefully they all add up...
