I think if I can manage above 40mpg without using hypermiling techniques I'll be plenty happy.

Lol, figit, that's what I thought too . . . .

I drove Black Widow for a year and a half bragging to everybody that I was averaging 43 mpg. Then while I was looking for a Festiva forum, I stumbled across ecomodders, where a couple of guys were getting over 10 mpg better then me in the same car. The rest is history!

You're fooling yourself if you think you'll be happy with a milestone like 40 mpg, when there are more milestone just over the horizon, like 45, and 50, and 55, and 60, and . . . . . . . . ..
