You should probably shift closer to 3000. Otherwise, you could actually be using more gas trying to keep the rpms up because they are too low for the gear. Lower rpms does not necessarily equate less gas being used.
 
very true it can cause the motor to slightly bog because there isnt enough load in the rpms when you change a gear

More than likely it's your driving style, and not the car. Test: fill it up next to an interstate and get on the road and use cruise control all the way(100 miles or so), then pull off and fill up again next to the interstate. Use your phone calculator to find the average (miles divided by gallons = ).

I got about 45mpg once right after filling up, than I stopped going down hill, I have been getting at worst around 26mpg around town, and up to 35mpg on the highway. Overall average appears just under 29mpg, about 75% city driving / 25% highway.
