New tires will be significantly less efficient than worn ones. That's likely the thing working most against you. How is the alignment?

How are they measuring fuel consumption? How are they monitoring driving behavior? I'd accelerate so slowly that I never reach the posted speed limit. You want the average cruising speed to be as low as you can get away with.
