So, hills will be your biggest obstacles.

I have found that in city pulse and glide is much more efficient than leanburn cruise. On the highway its vice versa. IMO trying to drive only in leanburn mode is pretty rough without the help of a capable wideband controller hooked up to another L2H2 sensor. The DWL technique will help quite a bit.

I got to get off my lazy butt and build one for my lean machine
I really want to delete my alternator also pretty soon. I would love another 10% to tack on
