The trick in getting better gas mileage is how you put pressure on Gas Pedal.
Learning how to put just enough pressure takes practices. Once you start feeling resistance from the pedal dont put anymore pressure.

1st gear to 10mph 2nd to 15mph 3rd to 20mph. getting up to speed initially doesnt get good gas mileage but learning to coast/cruise will.

4th gear doing 25mph will get me 25+mpg.
5th gear doing 35-45mph will get me 25+mpg.

Freeway are on 6th gear doing 65-80mph will get me 25+mpg.

Stop and go kill the gas mileage. Learning to put gear in neutral at red lights can save you little bit of gas.

I get average of 22mpg mixture of stop and go, street and freeway.
Sometimes I do have the urge to punch it but I'll save that for the tracks!
