You are correct on the throttle use/abuse!
Most of us get great mileage in our cars..... until we thromp the pedal a little too much! But it's worth every drop in MPG!
My trouble is I find my gas mileage is inversely related to the fun factor. I figure it is worth an extra $5 a week in gas to drive the way the car was designed to be driven. Of course, that attitude will not win me any carbon footprint reduction awards. However, it may feel good to conserve gas, but let face it, we humans are going to burn all the oil this planet can supply and then come up with alternatives when we have to. I am just speeding up that day by a few milliseconds.

The six speed transmission added another overdrive gear. My V turns just over 1500 RPM at 70 Mph! 27.5 MPG on a 700 mile drive back from Kansas at about 73 Mph. I'm impressed. Now if you floor it .......
