This was a generaly easy drive from starting from in a small town with 25-35 mph town streets, out to the country on 2 lane 55 mph roads through the countryside and back. One large hill.

I tend to let my speed drift under the speed limit by 5 or 10 mph if no other traffic is present and I have the time.

I tend to coast with the engine off whenever possible (Using the Forced Autostop funtionality that is built into MIMA).

I don't usually use pulse and glide. I just don't have patience for it.
