Just sayin'.
I agree, brisk accelerations isn't always bad, I think generally better than slow drawn out accelerating (atleast with my 3 auto cars), brakes always bad.

Learn how far you can coast into stops so you don't have to use the brakes until about 20 mph, at 20 mph I'm under 30 mpg so coasting any slower uses more fuel than driving fast. So I hold speed a little longer next time I come to that stop.

OP hasn't been here since 12/08, I thought it was funny he lowered it 3', that's quite a chop job.
