The most economical is 2800 to 3000 rpm in 5th, unfortunately for me 3000 rpm in 5th is 90mph
If it doesn't fit you need a bigger hammer

My last 406 110hp estate would always do in excess of 60mpg on a longish journey with 71 mpg being obtained between here and Scotch corner last year. My present one only seems to manage about 60 mpg on journeys with around 50 mpg on average but when I did a brim to brim check it was actually doing better than the computer displayed, so its probably similar to the old one.

These figures were obtained generally at about 60 mph and mostly below 2000 rpm.
