My best commute was 103 mpg. I think there's another 5-10 mpg available in ideal conditions. (no traffic, no lights, no hard turns to slow down for)

Your best will not be from a dead stop. Starting from 5 mph and coasting down to 5 will be better. You have to idle a moment and slip the clutch to get moving, which is inefficient.
