I've found a few different places that offer some pretty good coasting. One road (on my route home from work) offers about 2 miles where I don't have to touch the gas at all.
Also, I have a few other routes that offer some decent coasting or high mpg cruising, but most of that has to do with traffic. I've found that inconsiderate, inattentive, or just plain ignorant drivers tend to inhibit my ability to coast more so than any other factor. I digress, but just today, a CalTrans worker stopped his company vehicle perpendicular to traffic, shutting down two lanes. It was completely unclear what he was doing, so I merged into the left turn lane (an alternate route for going home). As I started to drive with the green left turn arrow, he smashed his gas, nearly t-boning me, made a 3-point turn into the left turn lane, and came to a stop as the left turn light changed to yellow. I guess rules of the road don't apply when tax payers are paying for your time and your gas.
