Gliding - are you coasting up to stops/lights with the engine on or off?
In the right sub-urban environment, it's possible to use the technique without other drivers even being aware you're doing anything different.

I glide with engine on in N since I don't have an engine cut switch. Maybe it's about time I add that mod! If I had one, I could do much better as there were manny times I did not need the engine on durring the glide. I key off at red lights. Only problem is, my turn signals don't work with the engine off which is a BAD thing. Another reason I need a cut switch.
If I anticipate I will need to slow, I coast in gear in fule cutoff mode.
