My trip is about 50% 25mph driving and 50% 50mph driving, with 3 stoplights and 2 stop signs. 5.7 miles of the 9.2 I "drove" with the engine off.

Nice. Improving technique seems most likely to be the biggest variable (usually is)--with some of the more effective mods following somewhat close behind.

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.
