Thanks, everybody.

Vic, I'm managing some 72 mpg trips on my 10 mile test loop as the weather warms up. My main change for this tank was lowering my P&G speeds. I used to think an 8 second pulse & 16 second glide was normal. By lowering my delta, I now get 8 second pulses with 30-40 second glides.

I suspect I'll be able to top 80 mpg in the Summer driving to Costco, Wal-Mart, Home Depot, & the mall.

It was great to get some hypermilers together to exchange ideas. We'll have to do it again. I think we all benefited.
