Nice info, I figured you were driving slower than that! I drive ~45mph all the time in my car, bet my graph would say close to 80% at 45, but I have a fairly long trip with only around 8 stops.
Been wanting to get a throw away laptop in my car (like a $50 one off ebay) and set it up as a OBD2 reader (I have the usb adapter and it works with my car
). Then I would like to make a little program to record details with the OBD2 and link it to google maps (GPS + caching of the route) for elevation (hills etc) and have it suggest when to coast to stops based on that day's conditions (self adjusting for wind etc as you drive for the day). Not a super easy program, not sure if I'll ever even start it lol. FYI, for any other coders, the usb adapter is pretty cheap, and there are open source code out there.
