Highway I get 35-42 MPG. The huge fluctuation has to do with uphill/ downhill and speed. I figure I lose 10% economy just going from 110 to 120.
This is in a 03 Grand Am with a 3.4L V6.

I have kept track of my 04 Grand Am's economy since I got it 5 years ago in an excel spreadhseet.
I also do mine in km/L instead of miles/gallon, but I get the same values as you, about 10km/L (it's also about 10 L/100km if you prefer that).
I dislike the short range the car has (<600km on the highway) but otherwise it's decent economy for what it is.
