My idle TPS is 15, and I hit on 29 as the max as being something that's easy to spot and is not too painful for starting up and climbing hills.

Thanks for the encouragement, Shultz. Although I only have two hypermiling tanksful with calculations, I have several more where I was unable to keep the figures. So I've had a fair amount of practice at arriving at a mode of hypermiling with which I'm currently comfortable. As I say, I'll need to make some additional commitment to see an improvement, I think.
