Ive been doing a lot of eoc and enjoy the free miles.
I always key start up rather than bump start. Why bump? Just to save wear on starter motor?

Back on subject..
I have a few spots where I can eoc about 8/10 of a mile and love those. They feel great. Sometimes just a hill will motovate me to coast down and rather than just clutching it or bumping to neutral I'll kill the engine. Some of these end up being short so I don't drop too much speed with other traffic behind me.
Is 2/10's of a mile worth shutting off the engine? 3? 1?

I'm getting good at anticipating the lights and killing for them.

Maybe off topic but also, assuming no cars in rearview mirror, how far down the speedo will you eoc? On the 55 mph roads I have been sneaking up to about 60 then killing the engine and coasting down to about 43-45 mph. Below that speed I have to drop to 4th gear instead of staying in 5th (my HF has really tall gears).
What I mean is, is it worth eoc down slower, say 35mph in my case, and having to start back up in 4th gear instead of 5th? If nobody in sight would it be worth coasting all the way down to say 10mph and starting off in 2nd gear? The 60 down to 45 feels the most economical because I gewt to stay in 5th.

Love to hear your thoughts and experiance.
thanks
