I hauled *** this tank and still pulled a 38.5mpg tank. I'm sure if I'm easy on the gas I can make a 40mpg+ tank.

I suspect you're referring to 2 different driving circumstances, and each of you is right for the one you're talking about.
Instrumentation can't teach proper anticipation of significant changes needed to preserve FE (ie anticipating traffic flow/lights). Neither is the butt dyno sensitive enough to deliver feedback needed to feather the throttle to a very high degree when cruising, DWL, or bleeding speed imperceptibly. |
However, you can't tell if you're reacting properly to certain things without some sort of instantaneous/trip feedback!

I wear mostly worn through canvas shoes for driving, best thing I've ever used, including barefoot (yes I tested all my shoes).

I was really amazed recently that I was correcting for inclines so perfectally that my speed would not vary more than 0.5mph - I kept looking at the MPG on the SGII and wondering why my foot moved - butt accelerometer works really well. But you're right about bleeding off speed - with the SG you can back off to 60-80mpg and slowly watch your speed decrease.

A quick calculation of gas use shows a little less than Half a cent per minute at idle is being burned in my xB if at 0.1gph = 2.133oz/minute. At $3.00 per gallon it would be $0.005 per minute.
