My stock vw eos 2.0 stick... EPA said 29 hwy. I was able to avg 38

Now we have a 2010 tundra crewmax pickup with the small (ha) v8 that is supposed to get 19. With a full load of 4 people and camping gear, I have seen just over 21.

With our 2010 Subaru outback cvt, it should get 29 but I am able to get 32.

What little Eco driving I do is while meshed with traffic. I go up to 5 overthe limit, but crest hills at lower speeds.

Oh, and I was able to get almost 6mpg out of 105ft long triple trailer semis that weighed about 100,000lbs.

I want to be economical but don't want to see only one finger from every car that passes. My results have plateaued. Should I expect better numbers?
