That 5% figure is really only from my most recent trip (950 km) for a family wedding, where I was trying to balance economy and comfort. Most of my trips are shorter (< half a tank) and it's hard to separate trip/commute mileage accurately, except to know it's worse.
When I've made that long trip in the past, I've taken the motorway. It's further distance, but shorter time at a constant 110 kph.
This time I took an inland route, through little country towns I've never visited before, with minimal traffic in between, where I could do 5 or 10 under the 100kph limit, EOC where practical, without bothering too many people ... and still got worse MPG.
