For a highway cruise at steady speed up to about 75, you should be getting better than 30 mpg. Now if the highway driving you are talking about is rush hour stop and go, 24 is about right. Other things to look at are tire pressure and aerodynamics. If you have low tire pressure and a big box on the top of a wagon, again 24 is about right even for stead state highway cruising.
By the way, I get from 31 to 33 mpg on the highway at 65/70 mph in my 2000 Aero Sedan.
