My wife is quite logical for a woman. She has adopted most of the efficient driving techniques I use, and now gets close to the same MPG as I do. Very impressive considering I just taught her how to drive stick last year. She is just the type that can recognize a better way to do something when it's presented to her, and adapt to the change.
That said, I wouldn't sweat it much if the wife doesn't take to eco driving. Different people have different priorities. Personally, I find it dissatisfying waiting at lights and prefer to coast while they are red. Others find it more relaxing to race to them and sit.
I tend to drive slower when it's just me in the car and the time wasted is only mine, but I drive faster when I have more people and more cumulative time being wasted. This applies to freeway driving, but going faster between lights doesn't make any difference in arrival time.
