After more driving, I've been averaging (according to scangauge) 35 MPG in the city. That is absolutely average. It's somewhat annoying to drive as if the car decides to fuel cut, the motor doesn't have enough power to maintain speed. So you have to give it just a hint of gas which lowers my instant MPG from 90's to 50's while cruising.
I'm going to continue testing for the week (as I don't have a lot of spare time this week) but was really hoping for much more mileage improvement than that. If I can't get a major improvement (With some luck and hypermiling, I can see 30 MPG city) I will move on to Plan B by simply attaching it to the rear differential. Or Plan C of just building an electric pusher trailer everyone talks about.
Here's to the future!
