It looks like you are shifting optimally. In theory, you want to accelerate "briskly", meaning not maximum acceleration, but not slowly. Of course while cruising at a constant speed you want to be in the highest gear the engine can handle for that speed.

I never saw particularly good mileage with my diesel Beetle until I started accelerating then coasting. This works well for me as there are lots of hills where I drive.
