In that case. . .you need to start shifting alot sooner all teh time. If you are trying for FE, you need to shift as soon as you can be in the next gear and not lug/lerch the engine.
On your car(you have slightly more power and only 100 more lbs) you should be able to shift upwards on flat terrain at no later than 2200 RPM all the time. If you are hilling you can do 2600RPM and safely get into any gear. Trust me I have the Sam's gap pass on I-26 and it goes from 45-65 and I do it in 5th at ~2K rpm
