Took it out for a late-night highway cruise to the next town over. 60kms each way over a mountain pass, 8% gradient at times, averaging a bit over 80km/hr (50mph), from a cold start and just a couple of degrees over freezing...Did it on 5.4L of gas, which works out to 22km/L or 52MPG.
Only eco modding done so far is the passenger mirror delete (since it didn't come with one), the cold air snorkle removed and tires @40psi. Had the lights on and the heater blower on #2. Only type of hypermiling was using the engine compression downhills (switching off the injector). Some hills required real braking too to keep my speed down around corners.
