It's funny how sensitive you become to the wind and even the slightest amount of water on the road. I started guessing wind direction and speed on my trips to and from work. Turns out I'm pretty accurate on both now.

Anyways land marking will be the best way to get things locked down. Soon you won't even pay attention to the land marks anymore. You will start to notice what kind of grade you are on by your acceleration or deceleration and it will translate into your driving everywhere. Drives my wife nuts coasting into stop signs and lights. Using DFCO really gets her going when I'm timing a light. Rather than aggressive braking to time it I always hit up the engine braking. Little stink eye when I do that but hey it's the essence of ecomomodding.
