I'm starting to coast to stop lights instead of downshifting.
I shift at 2k
I skip 3rd and 5th gear
I use cruise control even when I'm doing 45mph

 

i drift

 

i decided to stop driving

 

not true, at idle, average car uses a half a mile worth of gas per minute. FI cars these days use very little start up fuel, that part is a myth. They said it back when cars were carbureted.

 

I inject a total of 1.4ms of fuel to crank at +160*. I idle at .7ms of fuel.

once I idle more than 6 seconds, I've used more gas.


as far as coasting to a stop, if you stay in gear and pull vacuum, you tend to not inject ANY fuel at all. For example, in any condition above 1800RPM and less than 23kPa of atomsphere I cut fuel.

Also cruise at 16:1 AFR.

 

I drive a Neon. $20 worth of gas that lasts 4.5 days > $75 worth of gas lasting 4.5 days.

 

Isn't this applicable with diesels though?

 

Yea, diesel cars/trucks are better off left at idle. Diesals use massive amounts of fuel pressure, lots more than the gasoline systems, therefore dispersing more fuel at start up.

 

Using cruise control is almost impossible in Virginia Beach.

 

Or any where in the 757, for that matter...
