That won't make a huge difference, but it's only about a 20 mile route... every little bit helps.
Also when you do park, try to park so that you're downhill when you leave, and ideally don't have to back up. Again, every little bit.
You didn't mention what methods you're using. Pulse & Glide? DFCO? EOC? DWB? Tell us what you're already doing and to what extent.
EOC to all lights and intersections. EOC on all sustained downhills. EOC is about 1km in advance where possible, I have it dialed where I reach corner speed at the corner.
No P&G, wife won't tolerate that. Also why the drive through is required. I am aware that the drive through costs me about .15l/100.
I use the brakes on one hill, although I do let the car EOC 30 over the limit and carry that for a few km before bumping 5th.
Also, its 50km all in. Approx 25 highway, 10 city, 5 highway, 3 city, 7 highway
