Hi,

I just joined this forum and I'm trying to learn as much as I can here. First off, I have a 2012 Scion xD, with a 1.8L 2ZR-FE engine and a 5 speed manual. This engine has dual VVT-i.

How do you get 40+ on the highway? The best I've achieved is 35mpg using cruise control at 65, in 5th gear. I live in South Florida so its flat everywhere. I frequently have to do 30 or 40 mile trips on the highway. What am I doing wrong?
