Second gear starting, then top gear come hell or clattering valves.
NO braking on down hills - Gots to be picking up momentum...Fill
those tires to the max; you don't want a footprint, you want a

Also depends on where the MPG is measured. At a steady 40-45

their best mileage), your mileage 'could' be in that range, at that
speed, not the average getting to it...
