I have a hard time doing that.

I'm prone to fast acceleration, taking turns at high speeds, etc. but I generally keep my cruising speed low, and I'm mindful about conserving momentum, which seems to be where a majority of fuel savings are to be found. On my way to work today I averaged 102.6mpg, which is about 15 miles on a 50mph road. When I towed my ~1000lb trailer up from Florida through the Appalachians, I still averaged close to 60mpg, targeting 55-65mph.
