Default 40 mpg ?? Tell us how you do it !

Okay. I give up. 3000 miles now, and we need to know how some of you who claim to average 40+ mpg are doing it !

No deep technical stuff here - just list 2 or 3 things you do, or the conditions under which you drive, that gets you those results. Such as:
"Everything is downhill where I live." or, "I like holding up traffic while I mosey along at 10-30 m.p.h. on my electric motor." or, "I purposely take forever and a day to get up to 55 m.p.h."

Seriously, though, many of us who can get 32-34 mpg without even trying, can only get 36 when we try real hard !! So - you will be doing many of your fellow TCH owners and the environment a true service by letting us in on your secrets. It will also be good for my health since the only reason my wife let me get the car was because I swore to her it would get over 40 mpg.
