Moonmonkey,
If you're like a lot of us, you'll learn to ignore other traffic, and just go your speed. Going 55 instead of 65 might cost you 15 minutes, but it might also be worth 10 mpg.
My SE-R's got slurp's weight, and a full liter larger engine than your Echo. I'm averaging more than Slurp's best tanks in it. It's largely a matter of discipline, although having good driving conditions helps a lot.
