Fortunately I have a commute route where I can take mile-long glides, even twice. On flat roads I never bother to stop the engine while P&G'ing. And often not even downhills.

But lately, when I start from work (and go downhill almost immediately) I do: I saw how horrible numbers my car's FCD showed gliding there slow with a running (but cold) engine...
