Congrats on the higher numbers. Not sure if you are replying to my post or another or none... but DFCO is not engine off coasting, if you are replying to my post. DFCO is engine on, in gear, to slow the car instead of braking. Your computer will automatically shut off the injectors when you take your foot off the gas. ...

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
