This is the most common comment I get when I show people these techniques. It's immediately obvious that it's a much safer way to drive, because it forces you to quit driving on autopilot. You really have to pay attention to what's going on!
One "student" said: "Wow - imagine if
everyone paid this much attention! We'd have a lot fewer accidents."
Congrats on being a good example for your better half!
The other thing that surprises people: they expect that ecodriving is S...L...O...W.... But I've repeatedly shown that you can get better mileage
and even have a slightly higher average speed. (That's why I love using the ScanGauge when I do this.) In the city, it's not about driving slower, but smarter.
