The dash is a lie.

Inflate your tires to 35 PSI. Go easy on accelerating from stops.

Wow, I've never achieved lower than 30 MPG. I always use regular gas and my car is stock. If you want more corroboration, check out Fuelly - Track and Compare your MPG. I track my car's MPG there and I notice that there is a noticeable (5-10%) decrease in my MPG during the winter; it's probably because of the anti-icing/anti-freezing fuel additives.

38+ mpg
I use bridgestone etopia tires made for fuel milage, and I keep them at about 38 Psi. I utilize a high flow K&N air filter, but I utilize the original air box. Sometimes I use a non ethanol gasoline. I do see numbers in the low 40's with use of a non ethanol gasoline. Above all else I am driving at the posted limit, or 5 below. If it is dark out, raining, etc... I will keep to the right lanes, and not afraid to follow trucks. I use cruse control!
I noted a fuel milage increase with the use of Michelin Energy tires, and a higher increase with the current Bridgestone, Etopia tires. I do courier work and keep the car in great condition. Oh, and I use the highest gearing possible. I have a M5 transmission.

often stop and go. Too many traffic lights. Speed limit on city streets is 50kmh. Highway/Expressway - 70 to 110 depending on where you are. Mostly 80kmh. You never go more than 30 mins of highway driving before you hit a traffic or a traffic light.
the psi on my car is at 34 (cold). The gas here is a minimum of 93 but costs roughly HKD14.45/L (Cost about 500HKD ($65USD) to fill up my tank).
I rarely turn on the AC if I'm the only one in the car.

it all depends on where you are driving and if you need to use ac/defrost on a regular basis.
stop and go, mpg is going to drop, under 65, and not so much stop and go, and nothing special is required to achieve 40mpg
