If I want mileage, I drive 1st->4th->5th or 6th (depending on road/highway).
I accerate faster in 5th gear than my sister's Accord when on highway.
On average, I can pull a 18-20 mpg city, hitting 22-24mpg combined, and almost 29 mpg if pure highway. That would allow around 400 miles/tank... Contrast my 88 camaro which would be lucky to pull 250 miles/tank...
