As far as the braking is concerned, I watch the instant MPG when I'm driving others' cars and there is usually a break-even point in neutral coasting where you're using more fuel conserving momentum while coasting than you would be simply slowing in Drive (DFCO). To brake after that point would be, in my opinion, foolish.

I know I'm not the only one who will tell you there WILL be a cop behind a bush somewhere and you WILL get a ticket that will invalidate your MPG savings for the past several months. Then again, I'm not your mom, and it's your chance to take.
