How's everyone's hybrid MPG stats looking lately?

Only put 1,800 miles on my TRD Pro, and mostly short trips in my area and I have never seen the computer say anything above 20mpg...and most of the time it's around 18 or so. I don't hit the gas hard and I drive pretty relaxed around town, but the 23mpg from the sticker is never happening!

once you get 75+, it doesnt matter what suv you drive, the wind resistance will negate any fuel savings you might expect.

the sweet spot is 55

I believe this. On the expressway, I try to keep it at 70 mph for an average of 15-19ish mph. As you said, any bit of head or crosswind and that drops a few mpg. I pray for tailwinds. If I go above 70, I'm at 15 mpg or worse.
Around town, I can average 19-23 mpg.

I should add that I have a ton of armor, a roof rack, a 180-degree awning, lift, and bigger tires. That obviously doesn't help.

I am running about 21.3 mpg. Use only 91 or 93 octane

Since changing jobs, my commute has gone from 70+mph interstate driving to ~50mph driving through lots of stop lights and it's made a noticeable improvement on my average MPG. Some days, my return trip (30 minutes, 13.6 miles) gives a computer estimate of 30MPG or even higher. That's with a 300-foot decrease in elevation, so a very slight downhill grade on average, but even on the way to work in the morning I was getting a computer estimate of 24 or more, and that's with less tire pressure and colder air. Burning Costco 91.
I record all my fill ups in fuelly, and I've been trying to run an experiment only using my 4runner for commuting and nothing else for an entire tank, but I keep screwing it up on the weekends because I don't want to drive my Rav4. The short trips and the interstate driving kill my numbers, so my calculated average is about 22.5MPG right now.
