I think lusth has a good point.
Brings to mind, once you get used to doing deliveries you'll probably find ways to get much better FE doing it.

Whether they're in town or highway runs, it's a new pattern vs. what yopu were driving before. You'll get the hang of what you need to do to get the FE up there. You might end up getting worse or better than before but I'm sure you'll do better than what you got on the first day.

Besides - remember, they're paying you!

When I carpool and need to drive 70-75, I remind myself that car pooling saves me ALL my gas and gas costs on the other days when I'm a passenger. Sorta similar.
