Occam's razor doesn't suggest that. It suggests you eliminate all NON INFLUENTIAL variables. Like your hair color. It does not suggest eliminating variables such as wind, temperature, driver skill etc.
It is great to know the sweet spot, but that isn't the most important factor for FE. In fact, It is becoming common knowledge that doing a pulse and glide at most acceleration rates doesn't realy make that much difference.
If you just want to set your cruise control and take what you get then your chart is good at showing what to expect. It is not good at showing replacement of a drivers skill because the two are not comparable.
What you need to do is add the lower speeds to the chart and find out where it levels off at the low end. You might fnd around 20mph mileage drops off. Then you can get your peak. This will be the most a driver can get with cruise control. I'm betting it will be a bit lower than what a skilled driver can get.
