I do think I can coast longer on some points but it could just be in my head. I will update once I have about a thousand more miles.
The best you can hope for is to see a difference in steady speed cruising,highway only miles.
And I saw a 9-mpg natural variability at constant speed,depending on terrain,wind,rain,over around 3,200-miles of travel.
