How'd I do it?

Easy, I went slow, on even terrain and due to bad weather feathred the throttle.
31 mpg (at at times up to 32 mpg) is what the computer read but the Miles to fill-up method bears it out.

This was most at constant 60-65 mph
In an easrlier experiment I was able to maintain 36-37 mpg at a constant 45 mph over 40 miles ( bad weather = slow driving)

My best numbers during more realistic driving ( 70-80mph mountains) was 24 mpg.

hmm.. my granny driving 60mph with constant throttle gave me only only 24mpg. I guess your FI's helping out quite a bit.

I was driving w/o 19's and body kit...
I ams till on stock injectors so my indicator should be accurate and whenever I check it with miles driven vs fill-up its close enough I can write differences off to uneven fill-ups ( which <do> happen)

I am pretty confident those numbers are accurate.
