Coasting and Safety.
Hi, I'm a new comer here. It's nice to have this place to discuss with people who also care about fuel economy.
My commute is mostly in town. Between stoplights, I usually accelerate with moderate pace to the speed limit, and then, depending on the situation, coast down to the next light. The problem is, I'm also very concerned about my safety, and although I usually leave at least several seconds of space between me and the car in front and I rarely need to brake hard, tailgaters still bug me and make me feel vulnerable. I'm sure this is also a concern for a lot of members in this forum. So what do you do when you are costing to maximize your safety margin?
