If you want to see near 40 go on a highway, put the cruise on at about 50 mph or less, and just let it go. Oh, shift af 1500 rpm, use the gas pedal like it has a nuke you might set off if you press it too hard, and never use the brakes, coast to a stop every time.

I hit 39 once doing that. I can get 32 if I want easy, but the second I shift at 3k rpms my mileage drops to 29.
