It is very easy to get better fuel milage. The basic idea is to get to the highest gear possible as soon as possible. Do not be afraid to shift up earlier than you would ever think of with a gasser. When power is not required RPMs as low as 1000 are perfectly acceptable. Skip gears if condition allow. The best economy should be around 35-38 mph in fifth gear on level ground, but how often can you drive in that perfect world? Just remember if the power is not needed shift up and enjoy the torqe.
