I drove to a an outside beach movie tonight (just got bacK), and I think it coasts longer. I've been making .5+ mile glides much more frequently now and sure seems like I keep my speed longer. That gradual "slowing down feeling" (negative g force?) is much smaller.

Pictures tomorrow, maybe. I might even add more.
