What techniques everyone used?

In my case it was pretty simple. I sticked it in 5th and stayed between 1200 and 1500 rpm for the whole trip which translates to 35-40 mph actual (~+2 mph indicated). I did DWL on small hills as long as it would not go out of my 5 mph delta. I had to go up to 50 tps to keep it up crawling the big hills in 5th. Whenever I reached 40 mph with DWL I would EOC. I wanted to look up my current trip on the SG to see how many miles I had OEC but forgot to note it before taking the key off. I was too eager to fill it.

Anybody noted how long they coasted?
