Ended up checking my stats and avg for this month is 21mpg. And it's true, the longer you drive the higher the MPG. Got 25mpg avg for the day I took my son out to a college campus visit 2.5 hours away, 250 miles driven that day. This was mostly with DAP on, which I think helps a lot with MPG.
But the day before, only 20 miles of short trips ended up with 16.7 MPG... bet I was lead footing it from light to light. I'm also just about always in comfort mode, with the occasional sport mode for the extra oomph. Tried eco mode with DAP once on a trip, it felt pretty sluggish while following to the point where everyone just kept cutting into the gap it created. Like you said, low traffic is key.
