Default Gas Mileage update

Somewhere here we were discussing the mileage on my 2007 we bought 2 months a go. At first it seemed to be getting 28 and following the MPG on the dash or so which was an MPG better than the 4 banger Saturn we had. Then it started going downward all the way to 21 MPG. Under warranty we had the right front wheel bearing replaced, lo and behold, 30 MPG freeway. Surprising how much drag it was adding without seizing up.

I have NEVER gotten over 22mpg combined hwy/city. I drive 50mls a day 80% hwy. Owned the car for two months now. Nothing seems out of wack but its my first lexus. Any thoughts?
