Just as a matter of interest - I've started making pupils aware of my Ultraguage. I show them the difference in consumption -which can be quite a lot - when using the correct gear. I also find DWB (Driving without brakes) is an excellent way to encourage planning and anticipation. They often drive and change gear much more smoothly....

No doubt. That was how I was raised by my dad, look far enough ahead to not need brakes.
For the last 25 years I have made a game out of it with my wife. My family is a 3 hour drive across the mountains, and she can sleep in the car. My big challenge is changing freeways and negotiating interchanges without waking her up.
