Gas Mileage

I am tracking my gas mileage in Zoom via an iPhone App. So far I have managed to increase my around-town mileage from 14.1 mpg to 15.25 mpg by going really easy on the accelerator. REALLY easy. I'm not sure what kind of a percent increase that is. However, it is an increase of 1.15 mpg. If I divide 15.25 by 14.1, I get 1.0816 ... I think I am correct in saying that this is an 8.16% increase in gas mileage. Small but noticeable. Honestly, I should be able to do better. Driving at 60 on the highway, in overdrive on autopilot, I averaged 17.97 mpg. Again, I should be able to do better.
