Here are the results of the last two tanks since my last post:

407 miles using 10.231 gals for 39.8 MPG with about 70% highway
413 miles using 10.563 gals for 39.1 MPG with about 60% highway

I have figured out how to use the reverse i-VTEC feature and that seems to be upping the mileage a bit. Here is a link if you would like to know how to help your mileage. The secret is not low RPMs, but light gas pedal pressure to keep it in VTEC mode.
