You can easily do that with our 5-cylinders, under those parameters, top down.

Top up, you'll get into low 30s... and if you pump up the tires a little bit, 3-4#s all around, with the top still up... you'll get mid 30s.

I would get low 30's from my home to St.Louis quite frequently.
About 265 miles, one way. We get good mileage with our 2.5L.
