So FE wouldn't be 3.85l/100km but 3.93 And as you can see I wasn't coasting too much with this tank, just 8%.
Counting that by the factor of miles traveled over a year it will give you few galons of saved fuel. Every bit counts as they say ;-)

alas, the traffic I drive in does not allow ME to feel comfortable with having the engine off- Arragonis will confirm that traffic on the m8 is haphazard at best.
It may work for others, in different environs, but not for me
instead I opt for the 55mph
approach.. The shift from Petrol to Diesel offers me significant cost savings and better resource conservation, without having to go to every last extreme
