stick/auto?
i was stuck in freeway accident traffic for 30 mins. couldn't kill engine because it would creep every 3-4 seconds by 10 or so feet. before the traffic, i was averaging 55 on UG. afterwards, it dropped to 49.
if stick, try to EOC, kill engine at lights, bump start if light changes before stopping(if stick). most of my driving is freeway, no AC at 55. on off days, city traffic will drop me between 5 and 10 mpg.
i'm starting to get the hang of using DWL more.
