I worked at 3 different jobs. First one was 55 km each way through country back roads where the speed limit was 80 km/h most of the way. There was many stop signs as I zig-zagged from home to work. I’d let off the accelerator as I approached a stop sign to minimize gas usage.

The other two were 20 km drives each way with most of each commute bring on highway. It isn’t a true highway as it has 70-80 km/h speed limits and 4-5 stop lights on it. Less of a chance to let off the accelerator for better fuel economy.
