Generally, when the instant mpg gauge is showing 80 or above you are in lean burn. That's another reason why you can probably get better mileage with this car, the instant mpg gauge. You should find that sometimes backing off the gas so you lose as little as one mph will result in higher mpg. For example, @ 55mph you might be getting 60 mpg and at 54 or 53 mph you might be getting closer to 75/80 mpg (not necessarily actual figures).
