New HyperMiler. (EOC) Engine Off Coasting

Ok.

New to the website. Real glad I found it..

Anyway, ive been doing this EOC thing allot.

I drive a 93 Nissan Maxima - Automatic. V6 - 3.0L

Downhill is where I find EOC to be the most effective.. sometimes I could make a whole stretch if I could accelerate to a good speed, then EOC for a long time.

Is this boosting my MPG.. and is this a good thing to do with an automatic car?


I was thinking of doing crazy things, even duck tape airpockets that shouldn't be there because if they didn't exist, my car would be more aerodynamic.



So far to boost my MPG, ive been going no faster then
65MPH. Ive been EOCing.., and sometimes putting the car in Neutral at stops, even shutting the car off if I think ill have a good enough time to just sit and do nothing.



Im looking to get a 250cc Ninja in the future and eco mod the hell out of that.., but for now, im stuck forced to only using the car option right now. The V6 gas sucking nature of your income option.

Thank you.
