Default Economy and Speed Sweet Spot

After a little over a month of owning our 4WD FEH, it has become clear to me that there likely exists a sweet spot for maximum fuel economy. As such, I'd like to know what speed the majority of people turning in high fuel economy typically drive and what your fuel economy is.

We do about 50/50 with relatively short trips. We could no doubt do better if the majority of our trips were longer sub-40 segments, but we don't have much choice there short of doubling our commute distance to avoid the freeway.
