I almost scratched my truck on a front porch today when I had to pass a "hyper miler" by going over a few lawns.
I go the speed limit+++ so maybe "mileage aware" is the more appropriate term.

Got 21.7 coming back from the post office to the office. No full stops at 3 intersections, used neutral more after getting up to speed. Seems the paddles will up shift to 2nd and 3rd at 1400 rpm manually vs around 2000+ in automatic. Think these things made a difference.

Will see on the way home.
