I'm starting to see where my mpg are coming from. It's from slow acceleration above target speed and not exactly coasting. DWL I guess until just below target speed or until next turn. So maintain 35+ during acceleration up to say 50 mph then ease off the throttle to 75-80 mpg until I reach around 40 then repeat or begin EOnC until turn. Not sure if there is a term for that exactly but seems to work with the Cruze. Try the same thing with the explorer and find due to aero drag it seems it's better to maintain speed.
