To address the EOC safety factor, I switched to manual steering and electric brake booster.
So all systems work identical engine on or engine off.
I accelerate on the uphills, timed so that the peak speed of the pulse is as close as possible to the apex of the hill.
That way I maximize the use of available torque, and have extra long glides.
On the highway I spend roughly 2/3 - 3/4 of the time with the engine off.
I too would really love some form of instant feedback, unfortunately my truck is pre-computer. It would also be nice to have a transmission with an overdrive.
Maybe someday...
