i just started coasting in N to lights that are either already red, or that i know are going to change. i also started sitting in N at lights too. tried turning the engine off once i stopped at long lights. worked for a little while, but my truck started to get a little hard starting. i know its not the battery (optima yellow top), i guess my truck is just getting a little worn at 110,000 miles.
i'm about to enter a fuel log to see if it made any difference. other than the N coast i haven't changed my driving style, and its the same route, day after day.
*edit. no real change. but it hasn't gone down, so thats good. i do have a CEL thats been on for a long time thats hurting my mpg no matter what
