On my way home today I finally tried Engine Off Coasting. It made me a little nervous, but exciting at the same time. I am not sure how I feel yet about going down a 1/2 mile long hill at 65MPH with no power brakes, power steering, and the engine off!

I also drafted the slowest semi on my route the whole way home @ 60MPH. I was especially motivated to consume as little gas as possible because I was on "E" with no money for gas before I took off for home.
