I ran a 45 DCOE for years, it was the most noticeable seat of the pants 
improvement (at the time) that I ever made.
Fast, yes, but 25 mpg on a good day on the interstate was it's best gas 
mileage.
On the trip to Missouri 2 years ago and gas at $4 a gallon, I put the 
SUs back on. That and the optional cruise control brought my gas mileage 
up to 42 on the interstate.
Even now just cruising locally, I am getting 35 mpg and I can still go 
fast with well tuned SUs.
I just finished the old Sprite and I did put on a set of race preped SUs 
that I acquired in a box of parts, It seems snappier now but I have not 
done any gas mileage check since I barely have 100 miles on it since the 
refresh.
