Yeah, but most of the hills that I go down have stop lights at the bottom of them that during my daily commute I would say I get stopped at them 80% of the time. I actually saw a decrease in MPG when I would EOC on my daily commute. If I can DFCO down the hill, it would be great, because more than likely I will have to brake anyway.

But again, that is why I want to know the conditions, because if using the brake causes it to kick out of DFCO, that would be good to know so I could just neutral coast rather than trying to DFCO when it wont.
