took camry on a field trip

well after working 10 days stright, we made up our minds on the long weekend i had off to go to kings island.(which paramount no longer owns, news to me).
well the car is a 2007 camry i4 se(auto, bought new in jan)
the sticker said 24city 27 combined 33 highway, but the new numbers on Fuel Economy
gave the car a 21 city 24 comb, 30 city.
well i filled up in charleston,wv it was an average fill up 27mpg
with just driving the limit, a/c on almost the entire trip, did not use out of gear coasting or engine off, just normal driving, even hit 80 for about 30 miles on the way back. i went to cincinatti, went to the park, explored some, and made it back to charleston when the low fuel light kicked on. i had made it 497 miles on 14.6 gallons of gas 34.04 mpg out of my pig of a car(3351 lbs curb weight).
and i have the trd wheels with the wider 225/45 r18 tires compared to the 215/50 r17 regular se wheels. tire psi is at 31psi also, and no areo mods or anything done to the car all stock except for tint.
