Question about the math for EOC vs Coast?
I've been trying to figure out what the benefit of EOC is without actually trying it.
The math I have done is based on my commute. 400 miles a week, average speed is 45 mph and my last three tanks average is 40.45mpg which approximatly equals a GPH of 1.11.
I Coast with my engine on for approximatly 10% of my one hour drive (6 min.). My normal GPH while coasting has been 0.22. So If I subtract the gallons of gas saved via. coasting (0.22gph vs. 1.11gph) then the mpg if I didn't Coast would be 36.9mpg and my average gph would be 1.22.
So lets say for the same 10% of time driving my engine is off (0.22gph vs. 0.00gph), then my mpg would be 41.56 vs 40.45 that I am currently at.
To sum up the math, if it is correct. It seems that Coasting benefits me by 9% and EOC could benefit 11%, or just 2% better than Coasting.
Does any of this make sence? It seems correct to me?
