Yes, the best way to increase fuel economy is to slow down. Most
devices for sale that claim to increase fuel economy (such as the
idiot "HHO" devices) do not work.

"Half of my driving is done on country backroads or in towns and about
one-third on highways. The results is about 23.5 mpg."

Which is only a mile and a half above what I get in my 2002, 6 cy, auto DC
by not rabbiting, screeching to a stop and using the hills properly [slowing
slightly on the up and gaining speed back on the down].
