xcel,
For reference, here’s the EPA estimates for this car: 20 city/29 hwy.

You managed some pretty good pummeling of the EPA estimates! Especially since you had the a/c on the whole time! I calculate that your mpg was ~19.% better than EPA hwy estimates for the last three tanks. (Your mpg: 34.64 mpg)

I definitely agree with the EPA’s statement:
“Actual mileage will vary with options, driving conditions, driving habits and vehicle's condition.” Because of you, I always stress the “driving habits”.
