Help me see 55 mpg! - Toyota Yaris Forums

I was about to dismiss FAS as something I didn't really need to do since I use DFCO so much. But, then I thought about it. I can coast a lot further in neutral than I can with the drag of the engine in gear. That adds up to free miles. DFCO is a heckuva a lot easier for daily driving... but for this trip, I can see using FAS when appropriate. And I agree, it should make a big difference, even here in the flatlands.

Good call, Yarswiss.

I've observed the same thing.
