I don't seem to suffer from this problem
City driving - stay out of boost, duh.
Highway driving - at 65mph is right at the cusp of boost. Therefore, drive 60mph to stay out of boost. Then for P&G I use shorts amounts of boost to get to speed
a lot quicker = longer glides = increased average mpg.
3 Seconds of short boost acceleration only lowers my trip mpg by 0.1mpg vs 6 seconds of nonboosting acceleration can lower my trip mpg by 0.5mpg
