46 mpg home from work yesterday. 51.5 in to work today. I'm still not trying to P&G it. I am gliding where I can. Shifting to neutral is a breeze with this car and it goes back into drive just fine.

B mode can be used for engine braking and dfco, but it does slow you down quite fast. I don't see it being very useful to increase mileage. I have seen dfco in D mode (normal drive), but it seems like it only engages at higher speeds. In town, it will not engage. But, when it does, it holds it down to near idle, then it shifts to neutral.
