Metro mentioned the numbers game. When I drove Bacon, if I needed to stop while on a road trip, I shifted to neutral and waited it out, but when my Ultragauge showed GPH below my overall goal, I came to a stop and turned off the engine. It has an automatic transmission, so EOC was not an option. It was frustrating because I wanted to use the last of my momentum, but it just did not seem worth the fuel used while idling.
