Default Respectable mpg in my opinion

I just returned from a trip from Des Moines to Columbus OH and back, a total of 1,331 miles and averaged 27.8 mpg with an average speed of 68 mph for the entire trip. Best mileage was 30.5 mpg and worst segment was 25.3 mpg (very strong head wind.) I typically drive about 5 mph over the limit and speed limits are 65 mph in IL and OH and 70 mph in IA and IN. This average includes some city driving in Columbus and several stretchs of road construction, especially in Indy. I've got about 5K miles on the car.
