way dude.
on hills where i used to slow down, i now maintain speed or gain a few kph. i can now coast 1.3-1.5 km down a decline on hwy 400 just south of king rd. i have video for those doubting thomas'.
on the 400, which is very hilly, my previous best (about 20km stretch) was 37 mpg, i've since gotten 6L/100k @ 95 kph, and reached 5.8 following (1.5 seconds) a tractor trailer.
i'm definitely more mindful of my driving now, thanks to ecomodder. i sometimes shut the engine off at long lights. however, it dawned on me last night while i was eoc that the steering column will lock, and i can't use it on turns. it would have been a nice long coast.
