Was briefly at 70.0 tank average as I did my morning drive this A.M. ... climbing the final hill put me back to 69.9 ... I have the flat decklid spoiler back on, and it just seems to work as tested at El Mirage: I coast notably further, not radically, but significantly. If my deepcycle battery from Odyssey were not prematurely failing so I have to run the alternator all the time, I think I would be over 70 mpg right now. New battery from a different maker is on the way.
I have maybe 1.5 or 2.0 gallons left to burn and a 60-mile freeway trip to make for work today... moment of truth.
