Default 27MPG HWY on 87 EFI, normal????

i just went on a 650mi oneway road trip with my 87EFI sedan... i made it 900mi on 3 an a 1/4 tanks of gas... which is about 27mpg give or take a couple. i was doin atleast 100mph the whole way. which was 5th gear @ 4kRPM... is that normal MPG for accords?? i havnt clocked it yet for city driving but i image its about the same.. FYI; i did a tune up, before i left, new gaskets all around, oil/air filters, blew out the intake, plugs(45guage), an oil change.

for keeping a steady 4000RPM, 27 MPH is pretty good... i have a carbed accord and it only gets about 21 or 22 mixed... out of tune really bad, though...
