39.5 MPG in a sedan!! (1999 Plymouth Breeze with custom Kammback)

My wife recently took my plymouth breeze out for a little 750mi jaunt to visit family. I had just finished a prototype "fastback" and this provided for a good way to test it on the highway. She got 39.5 mpg on the first leg of the trip, which was 370mi of highway/expressway 55/65 mph. Our best effort before ecomodding was 32mpg, so this was awesome. On the way home she averaged only 35mpg but this included driving around, Grand Rapids which could account for most of the loss. All in all I think she saved almost a full tank of gas!!
My other mods are: AC delete, Power steering delete, Wiper blades removed taped front wheel covers.
