I've found an increase in my economy eversince putting a stopper on my throttle pedal to reduce the dead space in the pedal. Seems to keep me from playing around with how hard I need to press it to maintain speed.
(if this makes sense lol)

RE: Holy Crap. I actually hit 26.4MPG on my ride home from work.
I was getting about 25mpg btw home and Austin last fall - over 200 miles oneway- made about 5 round trips over two months - I calculated by filling the tank and then calculating mileage from amount filled against miles driven. I got as high as 27.5mpg and as low as 22mpg, but the average was around 25...the info from the car computer was different by about -2 to -.5mpg generally.
In town I have been getting a pretty consistent 18.5mpg for two years now.
Oh, and I get btw 6-9mpg over the 3.1mile track at MSR-Cresson (average speed 71mph)
