True. This is what I do any time I am stuck on a freeway stretch now. Seems to work very well for me. I keep the engine on through most of the routine, only occasionally shutting down. Aero is a key, and these new wheel covers of yours are interesting. The holes are for brake cooling? I guess because of the angel--parallel to air flow--they won't produce their own drag, yes?

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
