I experience the same with Teresa: she needs a pretty steep decline to accelerate without the engine, especially at these high speeds. To keep a lower pace like 50km/h (with the engine turned off) is much easier. Of course it's coded in the bad Cd.
But in the Alps she likes to coast too fast on downhills - yet the engine brake is just too strong to constantly use it
So I have to choose then what to waste: brake pads or gas... (because I have to start the engine at the transitions between engine braking and coasting)
