I don't think anybody knows that answer. It's big money and some city will hide the info so they don't have to share with the sate.
Just because you are trying to get good FE does not mean you are immune to speeding tickets. There are several example where driving for FE you could get a ticket.
A downhill glide.
The posted speed limits are not set up for good FE if driving an automatics. If the posted limit is 30 MPH or 35 MPH and you were trying for FE in an auto, to keep the lowest rpms, you would be around 42 mph. Even though you would still be the slowest one on the road they could still pull you over.
I've gotten a warning on my bicycle before 38 in a 30.
here's some good links.
