Your car is averaging 37mpg. Mine average 39 because I like to accelarate like I'm racing somebody. I won't see another sub 40mpg tank again. I tried to wind out 4th longer and look what it did.(lost a couple mpg on the street) 5th is the most economical gear, doesn't matter if your're going WOT in 5th.

My new plan is to shift into second at <10mph, into 3rd at 15mph, into 4th at 20mph and into 5th at 27-28mph and then just use 5th half throttle till I get to my desired speed.

Your car is an ex, which has a totally different tranny and IM. Which changes everything. What's good for your car might be bad for mine.
