There you go, I've had plenty of practise driving economically, so i'm more than willing to share my ideas and theories. Keep practising, i'm sure you'll get more MPG as time goes on. People don't realise how much a car's transmission will slow a car down, in neutral you're using a tiny bit of fuel for idling, and the rest of the magic is down to gravity!
