Rural driving will return the best figures, the NEDC defines the city cycle as having a 27km/h (21mph) aveage speed. That's New York City type traffic. It also happens that my GPS average is 27km/h.
You'll always get best economy in top gear at the lowest possible speed. But in the real world that usually means stop go traffic.
The very term 'highway cycle' is misleading, that's why it's been renamed 'extra-urban' in the rest of the world.
