My P&G ("LOG") routine has me accelerate with 70-80% load, then cut the injectors and glide. Repeat. When I accelerate my instant fuel efficiency numbers drop into the teens or twenties. But then with the engine off and gliding my overall average climbs up into the 60s, 70s, 80s, and sometimes higher. The higher load and heavier foot are meant to use the best engine efficiency for my car effectively by shortening the "pulse" duration, making the lower instant averages less important to the overall average calculated by my Ultra Gauge through the engine-off glide. High load is engine efficient without being fuel efficient. And high load engine efficiency followed by longer engine off glide makes for fuel efficiency. Works for me.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
