Nice to see everyone going the extra (one of the most important ones) mile to improve FE. Just keep in mind that in addition to improving FE, you need to pick the best route. The best route is determined by the cost to get there, not the mpg. You could have a route that gets 20% higher mpg, but if it's 40% longer your costs will be higher. Your ScanGuage will tell help you figure which routes cost you less, once you have them set up.

My mpg could be about 15% higher, if I didn't try to save gas. Ironic.
