There's already a recent thread about this, so no need to start a new one. Here's a link to it:

Keep the rpms below 2700, and you'll see a dramatic increase in fuel efficiency

You must have a lead foot ! I average 11 L/100 km (21ish mpg) usually. Unless I'm having a fun day .

My advice: coast as much as you can, accelerate slowly, predict lights, predict traffic stops/slow-downs/starts, cruise control when you can, avoid braking and leverage downward slopes, avoid accelerating up hills.

And yeah, I bet those threads Slee256 linked are good as well .
