Keeping to a target speed and observing the "rabbits", seeing where they get stuck or get through easily, helps you decide which lane to take in order to preserve momentum.
That's why I named mine "Turtle".

I keep it slow and steady and time the lights, and the hotheads that blow by me on the stretch get to see me pass them at the next light, when they're starting from a dead stop and I'm rolling by them at 40 mph. There are some days I'll pass the same guy at 5 or 6 lights all the way down the road as I'm getting 70 mpg.
