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. |
Precisely this. It's all about RPMs not speed. Most cars have a tachometer. Keep those RPMs under 2.5 ( more like under 2 if you can help it ) for the best efficiency. This varies by make/model of course.
