Can you explain your route, and are you trying to use the least amount of throttle when you expect to stop soon..
For example my route...from the house to my first stop is about 200 feet so i only accelerat to 10mph and let off the gas and let the momentum and high idle take me to the stop...the i take off again and the next stop is a red light 500 feet away so i only accelerate to 35 mph and coast again...in that short time i get about 20 mpg starting with a cold 32 f engine
