moorcomp,

I have a similar commute of about 110 round trip miles daily. All highway. I have looked at but not tracked my EOC per tank. I will start tracking it because you bring up a good point. It is hard to tell if coasting down the hill benefits vs DWL. I know I hate starting up a hill with out much momentum. I live on a hill so leaving home is great. I always pay it back returning home though. I don't think they balance out evenly. I have one big hill and several ups and downs during my commute. Finding the data will help me plan better for consistent results.

Good post.
