I should mention that I haven't slowed down substantially, and that some of this is even carpooling (through a mountain pass!!!)... Basic alterations are in how I get to speed, braking and managing traffic around me, just like I do with my Jeep. (now if I could get 25 MPG from my Jeep that would equal or better what I do with the Neon...). I tried engine off coasting, but am uncomfortable with the lack of steering and brake control, remember I drive where the deer and the antelope roam. LITERALLY! Not to mention the infrequent but all to real Bovinus Rex escapees... Besides, my carpoolers are VERY uncomfortable when I tried EOC!!!
