I completely agree. Momentum should always be the first on a hypermiler's list. The less you have to stop, the more efficient your results. My only point was when faced in a particular certain situation, never compromise safety or the well being of your vehicle for fuel economy.
Keeping this in mind will make you a more conscious and efficient driver by ensuring that you take the additional care to give yourself plenty of space, time and patience.
