Lean burn took me a while to figure out, but here's my basic understanding of it:

In 5th gear, accelerating with 100% load, you're at 45-50mpg. If you let off the pedal gradually until you reach ~100mpg, after a moment the car will drop into lean burn and shoot up past 150. You can then press the pedal back in to around 75mpg. Anything beyond this and you're at ~100% load again and it will drop out of lean burn and begin electric assist.
Have you done anything with index the spark plugs? I have some left over index washers that would work and I'm thinking about trying them. Thoughts?
