Yeah, 30 is about right, I assume ur talking about the 99/00 Si, not the '92-'95 Si.
The Z6 ('92-'95 Si) should be ~35-high 30's on the highway.
About 30-mid-low 30's for the 99/00 Si if you're not beating on it.
If you're constantly planting ur foot for every other car u see ur not gonna see near that b/c of the high RPM (due to the short transmission).
I'm actually surprised Honda didn't claim m ore than 31 on the highway...if that's who "they" is referring to, but yeah, it'll get that, as for speeds, 65-80 should be fine as long as ur not nailing it.
Also, remember for gas mileage around town / hills 'n ****. It's better to keep it in a lower gear and only use 10% throttle than to upshift and have to use 60% throttle at a lower RPM - this is usually very applicable for hilly/countryside areas.

highway consumption is tested in UN-ECE regulations...in EU it is EEC directives!
for EU EEC directives here is a link: http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise....html
if i'm not mistaken it's UN-ECE 101, look here: http://www.unece.org/trans/main/wp29/wp29regs.html

Or his o2 sensor might be giving impoper readings, or he drives in 5th going 35mph all the time thinking he's saving gas by being in 5th.
