I get pretty good MPGs and don't drive at all like a grandma. I'm usually the fastest one off a line, in the fast lane on the highway, and arrive at my destination just about as fast as one could reasonably go. The only difference between my driving and any other person is that I anticipate traffic, look ahead at lights, memorize patterns, and do as much engine-on coasting as possible. Ok, that and a tiny bit of PnG. Oh, and I take corners at much higher speeds than most people.
I could surely get better MPGs, but I really don't want to sacrifice significant time to obtain it.

Some day you'll become serious. Where tire & brake life mean as much as sheer mpg. CPM calculations. It's all part of economy. As is keeping the vehicle the longest possible time period. The American fleet takes 17-years to turn over. How many model years left on yours to achieve that number?
I think there's the same problem in defining "reasonable" and "significant" as with the average American.
