But for the most part I Coast down the one big hill we have and I rarely hammer on I don't get over 4000 RPM very much. Unfortunately I've been doing this as a second or third job for just about 15 years so I've learned just because you drive aggressively it doesn't really shave much time off plus it raises your risk of getting a ticket exponentially.
Eco-driving doesn't necessarily mean slower driving (in urban settings), it means smarter driving: best lane choice (best flow, avoiding slowing/turning cars), general route planning, getting into top gear whenever possible, and the big one mentioned above - not rushing into avoidable slowdowns/stops.Quote:

When I do coaching, I have the student drive a pre-set route and then I drive the same route to demonstrate techniques. More often than not, I have the higher average speed and the higher MPG.
