But it certainly can be improved upon.
Unfortunately I'm still not sure of how fast to rev and shift gears for best efficiency but my next tank will probably be significantly better since I was driving slower, not speeding in general, and driving without breaks for all my trips today.

I think P&G is something I will never bother with.. to much work and boring. EOC I haven't tried yet, just coast in neutral so far, seems like a pain to turn engine on and off without a start button and have music cutting in and out.

I am thinking to test a new hypermiling technique: getting out at stops and pushing the car fast enough so I can skip 1st gear entirely. Just won't work going uphill.
