I also coast on any grades and try to watch ahead for red lights. If you stay aware of the flow of traffic and the grades in the road you can coast and save from the reduced RPM's by disengaging the transmission from the motor in Drive to Neutral. It also reduces wear on the brakes too! 
Happy Motoring and Coasting!!! |
Coasting works on my Honda Accord as well. I usually coast to work when I get off the interstate. A good suspension is key as well since you may be banking hard on some long turns that you would normally brake on. I develop a route and pick the right speed to coast through many attempts.
Another consideration when coasting frequently is weight. Lighten the load of your vehicle as much as possible by removing those golf clubs and other junk in your vehicle.
