I'm retired, so just PM me when you've got some time to spare. Might be worth it to you to raise the level of your game. I might pick up something from your technique, Kiwi, & iPad apps, too. Hypermiling is relaxation & a hobby to me, so I'm wringing out that extra 6 mpg over your efforts. Engine is off at stoplights >7 seconds, I P&G most of the time, rigged up a kill switch, etc.

My last trip to Reno, I only got 41.9 mpg eastbound, and 51.2 mpg on the return, but that return tank included 300 miles of local driving, which is inherently higher mpg driving. You're doing excellently for driving a brick on wheels!
