Just a week ago I fueled up, getting my baseline mileage, since I didn't track MPG routinely before. Now that I have been trying some of them, I could see how some of them could be hazardous. I wouldn't be stupid enough to try "drafting," but have turned off the engine at red lights, or even coasting into it--only to have the light turn quickly green. I then have to come to a complete stop to start the car. Am thinking some of the techniques would be much easier and safer with a manual transmission vehicle.

It makes sense! That datum about 40 mph and the windows vrs AC was very good – I had not seen it so specific before. It makes sense!
