I agree with you summation. but have a different take.
For 13 yrs I was self employed and traveled to see my clients. most were local but when there was freeway travel I always tried to get the best mpg.
Around town (or less than 30 minutes drive) I really didnt try hard, just drove conservative.
When I would take my longer repeat trips, I would always try to increase the coasting points from my last trip. One 5 hour trip involved two mountian ranges and I kept pushing the limits on my coasting and drifting.
