I don’t know if it works out to better cents per mile, but...

To go from 9.5 to 11 to 1 compression would theoretically give me 6% more power, or about 8bhp... more power leads to shorter pulse cycles(compared to glide length), which leads to better overall FE...

Slightly better mileage and more power to play with when I’m not hypermiling, may be worth the higher fuel cost...
