I think this involves a *lot* of coasting, engine off. Also, gentle
starts, very moderate speeds, a light touch on the accelerator and never
use the brakes (sorta like my old Dad used to drive). They probably
also put about 50 psi in the tires.
Mid-twenties mpg is about right when I have bothered to check it -- but
definitely more fpg that any other car I've had.
