Very misleading. Heavy throtle wastes fuel bc the computer gives it a higher enrichment and from an acceleration standpoint..acceleration takes extra energy. Try it and then use 15% or less on the TPS (Throttle Position Indicator) I can guarantee you that less throttle will give better mileage.

I get 28 mpg with my forester in town driving.
