And of course, lean burn (if supported) will likely not be entered if you are pulsing and gliding.
That's why I only hit the kill switch when coasting to a light, or down a (tiny Florida) hill. My main focus is getting into lean burn and staying there. Check out the maps below to see how many times I have modified my route in search of one that offers the most time in lean burn.

There is no direct route between my house and my job unless I strap on a jet pack. The shortest routes have the most stop-and-start traffic, which kills the mpg of an Insight. The long straight stretch of I-4 takes me miles out of the way. I have tweaked my route multiple times since buying the Insight, and when my wife carpools with me I also have to drop her off, which throws another point onto the route.
