Great project Zerohour. This is an interesting post to follow. However, I think 35mpg is unrealistic unless you make some drastic changes (removing AC/PS/Alt, boattail, etc).
I had a 1996 Legacy MT that would sometimes get 32mpg if I happened to do a lot of mountain miles. Strangely, my normal driving conditions would only get about 29mpg. I bought a 2007 Outback auto but sold it after 1 month because I would baby the thing and only get 25mpg (made $1000 in the sale).
Kudos for the effort you are putting into this. If it were me I would have sold the auto and bought a manual since that is the single greatest and easiest thing you can do to improve fuel economy.
