You'd be better off practicing some technique, even though that does eventually involve going to the pump.

Are you responding to my original post or just responding generically? I'm not sure how much more would be safe for me to block off on the grill... especially with the climbs I'm showing on the elevation profile. Maybe on the 2nd half of the drive I can try a 100% grill block and be OK with it.
Also not sure who you mean when you say "You'd be better off practicing some technique". Do you mean me (the OP)? I know I can always improve, but I think getting 50%+ over EPA combined when I drive isn't too shabby. Doesn't show on the tank because my wife drives the Jetta too, but even the combination gets us within the top 10 % over EPA for Diesel cars
