Well, if my avg. mpg sensor is accurate, by the end of today I was getting 44.9 mpg. I clearly gain mpg by coasting in neutral. It's odd how the RPMs don't drop at all when I take my foot off the gas in gear. I'm also going into the highest gear possible without making the engine struggle. I was in 5th gear today doing just 45 mph.

Thanks again, everyone!
