optimistic about 40mpg

my usual economy is around 36mpgs. today t he average economy that's on my Android Tablet + blue tooth OBD I managed 40mpgs. I was doing an agressive pulse and glide, accelerating to 95kmh and coasting to 88kmh the entire trip, even uphill . on down hill sections I would try to accelerate to at least 100km/h quickly and then glide as far as possible but not below 88 M y instant economy would drop to 9 mpgs on acceleration and rise to 73 mpgs while gliding. with my regular style of driving my Tablet shows average mpgs and my tank to tank average is 36. so I am confident that the that's is pretty accurate. I doubt my tank average will be much different since this was one day of driving, one half of my trip. I am really happy with my economy but worry about all the shifting on my automatic transmission
