A few things I need to adjust or experiment with to see how much of a difference it makes are...


--Driving with load instead of cruise control. This one is iffy because my foot can never seem to keep a constant pressure on the highway...I wonder if it would help IF I used cruise control on the flat sections and DWL on the rolling areas...???




--Accelerating from a stop, keeping the RPMs below 2,000...gradually reaching my top speed or accelerating from a stop to 2,000-3,000 RPMs to reach my top speed more quickly. Which would save more fuel...???




Since I have an automatic transmission, I cannot perform Engine-off coasting...I wouldn't feel safe doing that anyway unless I knew the technique very well. What techniques can I do that are just as efficient???
