That sounds like normal mileage with high AC use.

The INL found that AC on max with full blower drops mpg from 52.7 to 41.3.

My guess is most cars take a big mpg hit with the AC on high though, so you're still probably coming out on top overall.

Offhand I think parking in shade, using a sun shade (ideally on the outside, but you'll probably get weird looks), and cracking the windows will help, as will window tinting.
