I don't drive much (being retired and lazy), but since I'm been doing some part-time work, (5.3 miles away).
I decided to try some P&G with my Escape (6sp AT), without doing any shifting into 'N' etc.
It seems to work okay on the flats. I was easily able to get 24 MPG both ways today, driving on 20 to 40 mph back streets.
I normally get around 24 MPG on trips short trips around town, (if I don't speed etc).

With the hills going to work, it's
very easy to get 20 MPG, just by not paying attention to my driving.
So, I didn't expect to get 24 MPG on my first try at P&G, not using 'N' or other P&G tricks.
Hitting the gas harder than I normally would, I figured it would go badly.
But, I was happy to rack up 24 MPG..
If I can improve on my Lazy guy P&G technique, perhaps I can do better than 24 MPG.?.
The instantaneous MPG SG2 display showed me that I need a grill block,
so I might install one this weekend and try some more Lazy guy P&G next week.
