I've found it to be rather annoying to other drivers as well - one's hardly ever alon on the road over here.

On longer stretches of road, I still use a constant speed.
I've reached the same conclusion with my VW diesel with automatic transmission. The Scangauge lies about P&G so I don't do it anymore; I just coast in neutral when I want to conserve momentum and DFCO when I have to slow or stop.

The Scangauge thing is really annoying actually. It is really lousy feedback when it comes to coasting and engine mods. I am keeping it only for the xgauges, the code scanner, and to test future aero mods.
