Then please teach me. Also, I drove on the highway a long trip and got 39 mpg, but the EPA highway estimate is 38 mpg. I must have been doing it incorrectly; can you please teach me how to drive on the highway?

The EPA number can't be compared with real mileage. It is for comparison purpose between different vehicles.
Also, please note that the EPA number is reduced by 22% from the actual test result.
Our recommendation for highway driving is shown following post.
