So it was right around the EPA milage with the air on medium the entire time, and in a 2.5L.

Did you mod anything on the car, I would love to get that kind of milage? Or are your numbers possibly wrong, did you calculate from range or with the OBC?
Wow. 32 MPG? The best I ever did in my '99 Ocean Blue Boxster (you have great taste in cars, BTW) was 27 MPG coming home from Lake Tahoe, all down hill. I typically get 20 mpg with 70/30 Highway/City
