49 mpg combined driving in a car rated for 40 is good!
i agree with xntrx that where we drive is important, and add that the weather of where we drive is key. it is warm where i drive inSouthern Cali, and much colder where you drive in East TN. Your IMA pack is of less use in a cold winter than in a warm one. You operating temps will be lower in thecold, your aero drag will be higher in the cold. But you could still do a few things... seems you set you tires PSI at 40. Try bumping up to atleast sidewall. I am at 60Psi, partly so that cold tire pressure never dips below low 50s, on the "cold" dawn temps around here of 48 degrees F.
