Of course, professional drivers may DESIRE to keep their jobs and investment, and to arrive home on time and in a pleasant mood. I try to let them keep their schedules.

You note different terminal coasting velocities down a long hill in different ambient temperatures.

Find me a delivery job where everything runs as planned.
As Dilbert once noted, "You don't have to cheat to meet the quota, but we have not found any other way."
If you want to run around fixing things, go bother the sub-contracting companies, suing on behalf of the drivers.

YKYAEM when you try to gauge a hill and see if you can maintain 75 MPG & lean burn going up the hill without losing too much speed.

You might be an EcoModder if.
You have no idea what the price of fossil fuels are and consider keeping track only to be in on the only automotive conversion most people have.
You have to do math to convert MPG to MPGe to watt hours/ mile to better understand how much energy others are using.

You might be “if”
It’s been fifteen years since you last bought a vehicle.
Reduced miles driven annually so far that the present vehicle has no miles-related end in eight.
Actual fuel burn irrelevant.

YKYAEM when it's not possible to tell at a glance that the tire on your light vehicle has zero PSI in it. :-O

anonymous gift
YKYAEM when...
You find an anonymous person has left a bag of old car parts in your mailbox... because you are driving the LAST fuel-sipper of its kind in your region.
I wish they'd also left a note so I knew more about them and when they last had theirs!
