Learning further how to drive with the computer does add MPG...

John I too did the math,I would up fill my truck make a fishing run to the Canal come back and top off again,then divide the amout of gallons by the mileage & it was dead on.
I have always been one for manual trany's(better fuel eco) but my new ride came w/ five spd. auto which I now love and would be hard pressed to going back to manual,If IM light on the peddel and cruise between 68-72 w/ no A/C or no windshield defogger on IM right on the money.
Plus I also bought a K&N air filter,right out of the box it will increase my horse power 5-7% and increase's my fuel economy by 1-3 miles guaranteed!Not to mention this thing is also good for a Million miles!!!It's a no brainer to get this w/ the price of fuel these days and that you never have to change it.
