Good news update here. After much experimenting with driving speeds and rpm, I am getting 25 in the city, and 29 on the highway.

How is this possible? shift point always at 1750rpm, and always very, very light on the gas pedal. Slowly crawl up to the shift point. On the highway anything over 2250rpm starts to quickly eat away at gas mileage. Equates to about 61mph. Not setting the world on fire, but achieves the goal of reasonable fuel mileage for a 3100 pound vehicle.

Overall evaluation: Just take your time getting there and it will happen.
