@elhigh, thank you! I'm quite happy with the ultragauge!

@Old Mechanic, I used the brakes only once the first 126.3 mile trip, at a stop sign, and was barely moving when I used them. The DFCO is working quite well. I basically just counted to compare DFCO with neutral, got about the same count and figured they were about the same, though coasting in neutral "feels" like it's gliding more easily. I will aim to incorporate both of them from now on.

@Fat Charlie, matching revs might be the issue as, other than speed shifting, I don't understand that yet and don't do it at all. Shifts from gear to gear are fine, but starting from a stop or shifting from neutral are rough.
