Yeah, really don't mean to be combative either, so I'm sorry if I came across that way. One thing I noticed before joining this forum is that most people are working with similar platforms (at least, primarily), and some problems that I am going to encounter either aren't an issue or are handled in a different way. California98Civic brought up a good point about pulsing and gliding, which I have seen is proven to be more efficient, but P&G isn't an option for me. I can't turn off AWD, and I can only fix so much of my ~.33 cd. Unless I can figure out a better way, cruising at constant speed at low loads seems to be my best bet for highway mileage. On the aside, targeted mpg on hills seems to garner fantastic gains in mpg.
