Shifting at ~3500rpm, I might arrive around 90mpg.
Taking 2nd gear up to highway speeds and shifting at 5000rpm, I'll be lucky to get my average up to 75mpg.
Redline it and it will take a long time to climb out of even the 30's with a result of the end of trip reading being in the low 60's.

This is very similar to my findings, though I can only wish my numbers were as good as yours!
