This is over 20 minute drives too so it's not like it hasn't warmed up.
I used to have a '13 Toyota FJ with the 4L V6 and 6MT, and even that returned better fuel economy than this. And that was on KO2 A/Ts and had a roof rack and everything too.
The dealer says they won't look at the Highlander under warranty unless there's an error light, otherwise they'll charge me for the diagnostic.
I have a feeling what's happening is the heat is jammed at max and forcing the ICE to stay on. I have the HVAC set all the way down to 17C and it's always roasting inside the cabin.

Tell them it's too hot even though it's set to 17C.
Well at least at BMW they'll look at it and come back and tell me if it's broken. Heater codes won't register as a MIL on the dashboard methinks so they'll actually have to scan it.
Alternatively if you haven't done it, stick a scanner on and see if it says anything.
