Whenever I see traffic slowing or stopping on the freeway I try to time it so I can EOC right up to the tail end of the blockage. Sure, a few cars will pass me along the way. I think that's worth about 2 or 3 seconds to my 45 minute commute.
Coasting down from 60 to 30mph is a nice, looong coast. I couldn't do it without looking very far ahead.
