Thank for all the recommendations!

Hmm, don't idle. So when I come to a red light, do I cut the engine? Seems like that'll be hell on my starter no? Driving without brakes is a big no no in Manhattan epecially going down the avenues. Taxi cabs are 100% willing to cut you off to get a fair, so it's virtually impossible to "anticipate when you're going to stop" unfortunately. With the pulse and glide, sounds like a good idea to do when i'm on Riverside (I used to do something similar to that on route 15 to CT since that road is hill heaven).

As for getting out the city, can't do that lol. I love this city, my heart, my family, my work, everything I do...all here. Driving around here, I can anticipate lights down most avenues, but lately they have been reprogramming them to 'control' traffic (which IMO just makes it worse).

If I was still in South Hadley, then I can easily picture myself doing all that you guys have recommended...guess in this little city it's almost impossible! I plan on getting an Ultragauge EM to assist.
