Hey, I've been reading threads for a few weeks and like what I've seen.
I came across the site while searching for ways to improve my fuel economy after being disappointed my already conservative driving style was only matching the EPA's estimates. My 5.5 mile commute doesn't help since the engine takes a couple minutes to warm up each time.
I've been trying to coast a bit longer to red lights, turning off the engine at lights rather than idling, and allowing the car to lose some momentum going up hills. I've tried the pulse and glide technique a couple of times but don't feel safe with the decreased handling (almost hit the mailbox turning into the driveway at ~4mph
).
Wishlist includes a Scan Guage, and I'm thinking about frost plug and oil pan heaters as well as a front grill block (all subject to my wife's approval).
Cheers,
