Re: FAS performed for the first time
Xcel, my intended FAS turned into a P&G because the usual red light two miles away from the office turned green as I was approaching the intersection. So I had to restart and continue through the intersection. My original intention was to do what you mentioned and glide to a stop which as I understand it would have constituted a true FAS. Now I know the true difference between P&G and FAS.
I was driving through Laguna Beach last night around 10PM and although I didn't pull a P&G (due to 3 other people in the car), I was very tempted to. There are long stretches of ~2-3 miles along Pacific Coast Highway (3 wide lanes in each direction) where the grade is just gradual enough to keep the P&G going at a good 40-50MPH without losing momentum for a long time.
Have any of you hypermilers freaked out passengers with P&G/FAS techniques?
