I'm going to concur with jonr at post #8. When I got my ScanGauge I found I was driving too softly. Not only does it increase the likelihood of incoming fire from the people behind you, but it keeps you in low gear longer. I don't floor it (my gas peddle has never known the floor), but I move out aggressively to get through the first two gears. I can watch the instantaneous MPG climb with each gear. Even going up hill, I push it to get into third gear. When you average the longer distance at low MPG, it drags down the total.

PS: FWT FIA to monitor new Hot Air Inlet
TPS to control foot
MPG to see how the foot is doing
