Hi GoNavy:

___I believe I posted in the other AH hypermiling thread about the AH’s tranny not allowing OD after a fast moving FAS 75 + % of the time unfortunately The only way to perform a FAS in the AH properly was to perform it when you knew you were coming to an almost complete stop (or actual stop ) at a sign, light, toll-booth, or slow moving/stopped dead nightmare of a traffic jam up ahead. IIRC, you could perform a FAS from and to any speed when cold but that didn’t last long. I had the same frustrating experience as you so it is not the car, it is the AH’s tranny design …

___Either way, I would still use a FAS for all complete stops as the AH’s regular AS shuts down the ICE at way to low a speed to do much good given a mile + long free coast has to be available to just about everybody at sometime and somewhere.

___Good Luck
