I'll second that. I find that if I come up short on the first coast they will probably all be like that that day. So you can adjust accordingly. Knowing when to coast and when to DFCO is quickly learned, and as MetroMPG says, use landmarks (changes to the road surface, signs, lamp posts, garden gates).
