On my last tank of gas I tired 100% grandma driving by keeping it under 3k and under 70mph on the freeway. The car achieved the exact same gas mileage as it does when I beat the piss out of it once or twice on my way to/from work. No matter what, I can't seem to get better than 24mpg.

24's not really that bad. I'm currently finishing off a tank in the lincoln, that I filled up 2 weeks ago, im at 160 miles driven so far and im nearing a 1/4 tank if not through it. And I have a 26 gallon one.
