endurance and bdesj, Thanks, I think it's pretty awesome too! For the coasting portions of my commute I just pull and hold the clutch in, I do drop gears as my speed decreases to try and keep the speed in line with the proper gear if I were to need to restart for any reason. My commute is about 22 miles each way with the area by my home somewhat hilly (alternating to/from coasting opportunities!) heading into a mostly flat city area. Between the hill coasting and stoplight approaches I can have the engine off for over two miles of the commute. I still don't think I'm coasing as much as I could, maybe still missing some small chances and could go a little longer on the red light coasts. It's much easier to do in the morning (0500 HRS) than it is during the evening rush at 1800 HRS, huge difference in traffic volume. 15+ miles are on inter-state highways (I-95 & I-476).
