Usually old worn-in tires have less rolling resistance than new tires. It can take several thousand miles for the RR to drop, in fact.

You can boost the tire pressure to the max listed on the tire sidewall.

You can slow down your max speed. I bet that cruising at 55 MPH in top gear will put you well over the 50 MPG mark, in fact.
