My only concern is that I have 22" wheels and maybe that is using up more fuel.

I have tried to drive under 2k rmp and when coasting between blocks, I shift to the last gear to give it a smooth coasting speed but am still experimenting with it. Any other ideas to increase mpg? Thanks.
Accelerating too slow can lower your gas mileage because you are running less time at your ideal speed
