Much to my shock, it became crystal clear that mpg was a simple function of Throttle Position. So if you wanted to drive at a constant 45 mpg, you would set your throttle position to get that mpg and simply hold it up and down hills.

Sorry, but it is not crystal and not clear to me that the instantaneous mpg of a car is a "simple" function of throttle position. At least, it must consider rpm and speed also. Obviously, if you push the throttle "ceteris paribus" you will see a change in consumption, but that do not mean it depends only on throttle.
Therefore, ask Scion makers and think it again.
