just read the link you provided, I pretty much did just that. Always the same time of day, out & back on the interstate at a part of the day where traffic would be dropping off, let cruise control handle the throttle over the route as much as possible (95% of the way if not more). Didnt do ABA testing because of the costs involved (unemployed ATM) but I did find that during the testing I was able to get repeatable runs. I picked days that were similar in temps and forecasts and avoided windy rainy days. I also logged each run for various parameters in case I wanted to pick thru the data (using LabView to analyze/pick it apart).

I wish there was a way to give a good measure of the city mpg so I could check out the rest of the tune I modified. Would be sweet to get into the 17's in the city but I wont hold my breath.
