The scanguage is no magical/miracle tool that would automatically give you 40 mpgs. It will only confirm the very thing you are trying to avoid-- which is slowing down. As for DFCO.... you have a 5 speed 08. As soon as you lift you foot off of the gas while in the highest gear, you are in DFCO ( gear appropriate for speed).
You really are asking for miracle if you expected 40mpgs running 70mph. I can tell you it was hard for me to slow down at first, yes it was scary. I got used to it and now I run 55mph everywhere. The only time you'll find me break 60 is if I'm merging onto fast traffic. Yes I have a scanguage. No, didn't need it to break 48 mpgs on the dealor tank of gas. I'm averaging 48 mpgs through the whole year. And lastly, I do understand that I'm in SoCal with great weather, but 1/3 of my commute is early morning with temps at 50-60 degrees.
