Not to burst your bubble, but I'd look at your odometer.  I'd be
willing to bet a box of Timbits it's not calibrated correctly.

I get 30 mpg consistently in my diesel westy, and my odometer is
reasonably close to actual.

Drive steady and smooth, and you'll save fuel (and reduce the damage to
the environment), so as long as you're driving to squeak extra mpgs out
of your bus, we should all be happy.  Good on ya!
