I have put 27k on my car since I bought it, has just under 32k on it right now and my worst tank has been just under 25mpg and my car has been tuned since the day I got it. I beat on my car very often and that low tank I had been to 100+ atleast 25 times while doing some tuning.

That engine must be pretty tight. Even with stop-and-go driving, you should eventually see at least 23. I get 26mpg on a non-Stage-1 AT with a mix of city, highway and mountain roads. I drive pretty mellow, though; lingering habits from owning a Prius. If your wife is cranking up the loud pedal often, that might explain things.

I experienced good MPG from the beginning and never really saw the break-in period affect it.

The more I think about it the more I think 89 was put in at dealer when they filled me up. Mileage has steadily been coming up with 93 I put in Sunday. Maybe not but its climbing. Its now 20.2 and been hot & humid here with some playing

Come to think of it, I seem to remember that happening to me, too. I don't remember the mpg number now (this was a few months ago), bit I recall being a little nervous about it. You should be ok with the good gas. You'll probably do a little better after the novelty of romping on the throttle wears off a little, too.
