Got my best record going to work on Saturday! My previous best was 89mpg, and I did 50-55 all the way to work. This time I only did 58-61 and got 91.8MPG. I think the newer battery I got really, really helped. I say 'newer' because it's not a brand new battery, but it was only 2 years old from Honda with low miles and running great but had thrown a P1568 (PTC strip code), then sat for like a year (or close to it). Did the P1568 bypass and it works great! I have a ton more battery and the car doesn't background charge nearly as much as it used to.

Also, HyperQC, I honestly don't think just charging a battery does much for it. With my old battery, if I just charged it, it would run ok for like 2 days then code again. With a deep discharge (0v discharge) my battery would last 3 weeks to a month before throwing P1449 again. I would just repeat, and kept the battery working for 7 months before getting my current battery.
