that mpg is very possible with 12a's and not just from them I ran a stock port 12a in an 85 I had, stripped everything I didn't need and basically a perfect tune at 70mph I got close to 35mpg- not many believed me but it can be done

Sounds realistic to me. The 7 second 0 to 60 is very doable. The 30
mpg is going to be very subjective to driving style and such. I get 25
mpg on the highway with my Dell doing ~80 mph. With that twin SU
setup it should run very well down low and would lend itself to a lean
tune because of the size of the carbs.
