With the roads around here I get much better mpg in the city so the proposed ratio would put me much further ahead of EPA than I am. The speeds are 45 in town and the lights are far appart. I anticipate, coast, key off and fight my way up to a 30-35mpg average. On the highway it's nothing but open thottle, no cheating and my mileage is closer to EPA. My FE falls off a cliff once I exceed 50 mph. I hope to change that with a full belly pan.
