I guess I do understand why P&G really isn't fitting during the Challenge, just for the fact that it's run basically like a "group ride" (if I understand it correctly) - where it would create safety concerns IMO.
The part that most of us here have a problem with, I think, is that it doesn't sound like you see any benefit of utilizing P&G whenever possible as a tool to increase mileage. There are many opportunities in the real world to use it, depending mostly on traffic, location, and specific riding conditions of course.
It's basically trading the penalty of brief acceleration for the benefit of extended coasting - and coasting is saving fuel.
When you said you're not willing to change your driving habits to improve fuel economy (post #56) it surprised me, because it's the simplest way to significantly increase it IMO.
Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate your efforts now and then to call attention to the need for increased fuel economy, I just have been surprised by some of your comments.
