One tank on the Paseo - no P&G, no EOC - place your MPG bets

I've been thinking about doing this for a while now, and I am finally doing it. I'm going to drive one tank (maybe half a tank, we'll see) without using P&G (pulse and glide) or EOC (engine off coasting). I'm very interested in seeing how much my mileage drops due to abandoning these driving techniques. I'll still be using all other techniques, just getting rid of these more advanced ones.

The alternator disable won't be used since its still winter and that has killed the battery's capacity. But, everything else will be in use.

Winter has already hit the Paseo's mileage very hard, so I'm very unsure of what I'll get. Anyone want to take a guess at what kind of mileage I'll see?

Here is my mileage log:





One of the other reasons for doing this is that the EGR mod will be pretty useless if I still P&G. It was aimed at trying to find a solution to improve steady state driving mileage. This will give me a very rough idea of where I'd be starting from.
