And I get better fuel economy from my 4.0 liter Mustang than my sister gets from her 1.6 liter turbocharged MINI Countryman.
Nice.

I'd say my EOCing has become very 2nd nature. I'm starting to key off for the seemingly smallest EOC advantages.

EOC has become so transparent that I'll pop the clutch to restart the engine and then realize I didn't even remember turning the engine off.
