I see a few points where you lost some efficiency on that route.


1. It looks to me like you could be starting your coasts earlier. For example, at 3 you could have continued to coast all the way to 7 instead of accelerating to 4.

2. You could shut down at 7. That's approximately 25 ml of fuel that accomplished nothing.

3. The acceleration up to 13 was unnecessary. If you started a neutral coast at 12 it would take you all the way home.
