Unlike most I found worse results with EOC. It may have been too many hills on my commute, or heck, maybe I was doing it wrong. I have decided that for the short term I will not be using it.
I have hemmed myself into a corner by selling off my Buick. We now only have my Metro and my wife's Buick. In short I cannot afford to take gambles with the health of the Metro, and I worry about the effects of bump starts on little Metro axles and CV joints, and excessive starter wear.
That being said there are a couple of stretches that I cut the motor off and coast. One is .5 miles downhill into a stop sign, and one is coming into my little town where there is a .4 miles slight downhill with dropping speed limits.
