I've been experimenting with this lately, It works. Depending on the road and where I'm pulsing and gliding to the speed changes, But generally if there isn't anyone behind me I may go down to 25 MPH before accelerating to 40 or 45. I tried this on a road up between Franklin and Oil City, And the average MPGs were close to 35 in the Caravan according to the ScanGaugeII. I only went between one and two miles but imagine it with the engine turned off! And yes, This is something I learned from Diesel Dave so thanks!
