just did some experimenting. First thing I found is that the actual fuel consumption is not registered on my computer for speeds below 30 kph.
Second I have been shifting around a little and using 4th and 5th gear for speeds between 30 and 50 kph and let the revs drop to idle, (without stalling the car). Fuel consumption did not differ much whether I was in 5th or 4th (close to 40 and close to 30 respectively). Furthermore it is difficult to maintain constant speed at this range and the influence of the wind will show nice fluctuations as well. Actual results were something like between 78 and 94 mpg for speeds between 30 and 45, but indeed not very scientific.
