Yes, I'm surprised more people haven't done this already. I'm planning on doing it when I eventually get an MPGuino.

Don't forget that slower accelerating methods will cover more ground so just going by how much fuel is consumed to get to 55 isn't a "fair" method.

I was debating on how to account for this and I was just going to compare mpg after accelerating to 55 and holding at 55 at least long enough to reach the distance required for the slowest method. I'm not sure that's a perfect solution but at least it accounts for the main differences.
