How long do you stay in 1st ?
Aside from starting in 2nd, quickly shifting up from 1 to 2 will also help - say 1 car length, just to get it rolling..

another question, on the high way my top gear is at about 1400 rpm doing 80mph...

Slow down as much as possible while keeping in top gear, and you'll do a lot better.
