thats very interesting to have a high mpg machine that does not do much better with hypermile techniques.I am very happy with it even though 55mpg is the best i can get this summer. I will continue with a light foot,coasting and watching the vacuum gauge to save gas.this car has a super low idle too.with fan and lights off idle is around 300rpm.with fan or lights on,rpm goes to about 500,a/c on goes to about 900.i am not putting anymore premium in the tank since i havent notice any advantage either.also the only 100% gas station near me is about 45 minutes away(according to internt).I have put 8k on this car since i purchased it.
