the key to safe EOC (or any driving, much less eco-driving) is looking and thinking ahead. You should never run out of brake vacuum because braking shouldn't be a surprise- it's the driver's responsibility to restart before running out. Other things like power steering are in the same category- if you might suddenly need it, you should have your engine on anyway.

Come on, CAPTAIN. A car with a non power system is probably easier to steer than a car with a power system that is currently unpowered.
