Aha, so that's the secret behind your 1.6% over EPA. I wondered how you managed that mileage.
Seriously, full throttle acceleration will put even a Metro into single-digit FE, and fuel injected vehicles can go for tens of thousands of miles with no significant carbon buildup. Save it for those rare occasions when you need to merge from a stop in a construction zone.
