that helps a lot !
it also confirms something I also believed, that getting up to speed was more beneficial for mileage (without flooring it, of course) especially now that Ive gotten a tach. if it takes me 45-60s to get up to 45mph, my RPMs are around 2500 that entire time, however, if I get up to 45mph in 15-20s (my rpms hitting above or near the 3k mark just before shifting), then my rpms drop to 1200-1300. a pretty significant difference if I do that 30+ times a tank.
re: trans/N
maybe it is just me being overly critical/concerned, but when I do put it in N and coast, the trans honestly feels different when I put it back in gear. and not in a good way, it feels more sluggish and sometimes takes longer to shift.
