2300 RPM at 55 doesn't seem off. Old or not, the gear ratios shouldn't change with age. In regular, non-p&g driving, about 45 mph is where my Fit's best mpg lies.

As you get used to p&g and EOC, it'll get seamless. No one outside will be able to tell if you're in gear or if your engine is running.

I did well in my last car with slightly larger tires.

Ge a meter. ScanGauge, UltraGauge, they're the best. I haven't used Torque since it was new, so I can't tell if its fuel readings have improved.
