    ^ Absolutely. The light eventually dawned when it hit me how much difference on the graph just a tiny modulation of the gas pedal made while driving around normally, not just starting, stopping, gliding, etc. You can't watch the display all the time, but after a few weeks your foot starts doing the moves inately.

    Sometimes the easiest solution is the best. I have to agree driving normally with gentle acceleration and breaking is most fuel efficient style. But for the past week I think I got caught up with experimenting all the different techniques. Results have been inconsistent.

    I guess I should learn to take it easy.
