I coast from 40 MPH down to 22-25 MPH for a left turn into work. A speed demon coworker found himself behind me one day. He was under the impression that I had delayed him by a good 30 seconds, then surprised when I went through the math and showed him that he was actually delayed by 4 seconds.

Neat work!
I'm thinking that doing some basic timing over a week may be a plan at somepoint..
that way I can compare her normal driving to using DWB etc.. see what the change in fuel consumption vs time increase is
