Ultra-aggressive EOC

[ChewChewTrain]

Thanks to R.I.D.E / Gary for the inspiration, when I asked him for his impressive MPG success. He answered it was his driving style; no fancy instrument gauges, no additional air effects.

I'm trying a new ultra-aggressive EOC city driving style.

I basically "scoot" the car. Imagine how a child uses a push scooter. They push off with one foot, ride the scooter until it slows, the push off, again.

I'm testing that as an EOC driving style. I'll run the engine just enough to get the car a little above the speed limit and quickly shut off the engine and coast until the car becomes unbearably slow.

If there is traffic close behind me, I'll switch to another lane.

The ONLY time my engine is on for a substantial period of time is when idling at a stop light, which I use as an opportunity to charge the car battery. I discovered that quickly turning on/off the cabin heater fan, which will trick the alternator into beginning the charging cycle.

I suspect that this ultra-aggressive EOC method on city streets has the potential to match, if not surpass my highway MPG scores.

Will keep you posted after my next fill up.
