I still drive with FE in mind, but I'd say I'm a little less fanatical about it. I think I'd seperate it into the good habit vs. let's be real category. Things like being more aware of traffic will probably stay with me. Why accelerate quickly above the speed limit to have to step on the brakes pretty good at the next light? Might as well get to speed, coast with the ICE off and try to hit the light when it's green. On the other hand I can't see doing pulse and glide, even when traffic allows. Just too slow a way to get somewhere and more importantly, take too much concentration away from the road.
