40 MPG Focus

I have a new 2009 Ford Focus with a standard Transmission. It is rated at 35 MPG. I recently posted 40 MPG 1 way 54 miles of hilly curvy backroad and some city driving. It has been getting better I believe because its broke in and I changed to a full synthetic blend oil. I have yet to try hypermiling tehniques or modifing the car. I have learned that 59 - 62 MPH is the sweet spot. It actually does worse at 55 or over 62.
