As a base line i average 64.5 mpg on commute with around town errands added. Max speed is 55mph, average around 45mph. On the highway i average 55mpg going the 65mph speed limit with large sections on inclines, but which could be improved by driving style.
My goal is to break an even 70mpg average all day long. I would ultimately want to match the stated epa 75mpg of the manual in a cvt.

If you look at post 286, you can see some data that was generated by A-B testing the tail on and off the car.

This is the mileage gain at only 55 mph, and at your speed of 65 mph, you will see an even greater improvement.
