Dealers count on suckers. I don't think that's representative of what Mazda intended with MSRP.
On the note of fuel economy, don't forget that new Skyactive versiobs including HCCI and SSCI are meant to come with a supercharger, for diesel-like grunt (because it's basically a diesel) and sustained torque curve (like a gas car), while also being fuel efficient at partial load where you spend most of your time.. Those aren't terrible goals.

I just checked and the average price according to truecar (actual paid price average according to them) in my area for a Mazda 3 GT is $27,150.00. And that seems about right, my ex GF had a 2010 2.5L fully loaded and it was like 24k all said and done back then. She later paid $28kish for her CX-5 Touring in 2015.

Skyactiv-X uses a supercharger, though it's not there to increase power. In fact, Mazda calls it a "lean supercharger."
"We avoid the term 'supercharger,' because people think 2.0-liter supercharger, and they have a certain power output expectation," Chen said. "In order to achieve compression-ignition, we're using air-fuel ratios of up to 50:1, so we need to shove more air in. So, the supercharger is actually physically putting more air and EGR back into the cylinder, plus the same amount of gas."

44K USD for a 2.5l vvti camry(base model).
30,800 USD for a 2.0l hatchback Mazda 3
