Same. I realize I can get stratospheric (instead of merely excellent) numbers with a 100% P&G regimen, but I rarely do it anymore.
That said, just for S&G, I threw a bunch more P&G at Mirage #2 (
The Even Fancier Metro) for its latest tank and saw 78.5 MPG US = 3.0 L/100 km. There's still more where that came from.

Basjoos always said he did NO hypermiling. His route to 70+ mpg was all in modifications. He didn't even drive especially slowly, IIRC.

That's my goal too. I generally kill the engine towards most stops, turns & on some descents, but I would prefer to just set the cruise control on the scenic & back routes I typically travel.
