WHat is your driving conditions.
I see you are in So. Fl.
I assume it is flat there.
Only have overpass hills to deal with.
How long is your ususal commute?
42 miles each way Almost all highway.
What speed do you mostly drive at?
50-65 on open highway 10-20 in
traffic, mostly homeward commute.
Do you use cruise control?
Tried it first day haven't since really too much
traffic to use.
Do you ususally drive alone? (less weight)
Yes
From a stop do you accelerate very slowly?
Most of the time depends on the
traffic conditions. occasionally had to fast accelerate to merge into fast traffic but level off quickly.
One of the things I like to do is get too speed and back off a little
to get the instant mpg to go up to 60-65mpg and cruise like
that as long as possible before another car forces me to break
the cruise. I do a full P&G on the overpass hills and when slowing.
I don't have the guts to shut engine off with the traffic I deal with
though I did try on an empty road just to see what it is like.
Takes about .3 miles of slow driving 25 mph to warm car enough
for AutoStop or Assist to function.
