Good job! First post and you trash all the work other made during years.

Except that one point you dislikes (stop&start engine instead of being idle), which points do you like ? which ones are you using ?which ones will you use ?

Personally I like the idea to stop the engine while coasting.
I will never stop my engine while coasting because my cars have not been conceived to work this way.
Until now I'm using DWB, moderate accelerations and quick gear shift up.

With that my last tank is at 36% over EPA and 42% over what I was doing before eco-driving.
