The road was very straight and I did everything I could not move the steering wheel any more than absolutely necessary.

I bought an SCT tuner that will allow me to adjust the idle rpm so I'm going to drop it to 500 to see if I can get my coasting mpg up.

The bad thing is that I think I'm going to wear out my throw-out bearing, clutch fingers, and left leg since I will be pressing the clutch a lot more than normal.
