I just don't drive much. Most people do absolutely no trip planning. They just jump in and go whenever they think of something. I have a Tacoma that I bought in June 2006 that has just over 13,000 miles on it.

WRT slowing down, that's only effective at speeds over about 65 mph. Your car is most efficient from approximately 45-55 mph, so slowing down near or below those speeds gains nothing. Reducing rates of acceleration is far more effective. Ease in, ease out.
