On a side note what is your instant mpg if you coast at 60mph? I find the 2.4L burns a lot of fuel at idle. I have heard that it takes about 5000miles and then the fuel economy improves and I am only at 4500km.
GPH when selecting neutral at 60 will initially drop to .28, then .25, then .23 and hold a few seconds, then .20. So it eventually makes it read 300 mpg coasting at 60 but takes 5+ seconds to get there.

If it would drop straight to the 830 rpm 'rolling idle' it then mpg would probably easily net 1 more mpg over a tank, maybe more.

Just got through the NEW record tank of 43+! 718 miles/ 16.54 gallons.
