You're right about that. I drive a heavy truck and quite a bit of it is out on the highway. You have to be thinking and looking a long way ahead. If I'm going 55 mph and I put it in neutral I can coast close to a mile. My "normal" glides from 45 mph down to 28 mph take almost 1 minute.
Thanks for the videos, I'm sure it took quite a lot of work. It also makes me realize how much you CAN'T capture in a video (when you're shifting, how fast you're going, what the road grade is, all those other small things that you're looking ahead for, all the things out of camera view, etc.). I've learned that all those things are important and it's easy to not see those things in the videos.
