WOW: +66mpg and 2750 rpm at 60mph... Hmmmm

O.K.- help me out. I thought I knew how to P&G- but I can't seem to break past 36mpg. I glide in neutral when able and turn off the engine at stoplights.

"Using the engine at it's full capacity in a burst..."

My XRS happily revs to 8,200 rpm. I generally don't go there as my scan gauge shows mpg drops precipitously when in "lift" (anything above 6,200rpm).

What do you cruise at on the hwy? I maintain 70mph- usually no higher.

Help me break 40mpg! What is the best P&G technique?
Thanks in advance!
