Neat. I'm surprised that, being a regular around here, you were able to be coached into even more savings.

Then again, I suspect many of your colleagues had both (a) larger percent improvements, and (b) higher overall fuel consumption.

PS - what's block upshifting? Skipping a gear?

And what were you doing that was preventing the engine stop/start system from activating?

PPS - I think this kind of thing is fun:
