The problem seems to be a small, light, not particularly aerodynamic and under-powered car.
I was able to P&G my way to around 60 mpg in my old 1993 Ford Festiva, which had the basic aerodynamic shape of a brick glued to the front of a cinder block. There's a learning curve to P&G, but pumping the tires up and using double brake clips on the front may help a little.
