Just had a trip within city areas. I enjoyed surfing the green to save fuel.
This is not a new technique but I find it very practical and addictive. Usually, long before I approach the traffic lights, I estimate in mind how long the red/yellow/green lights are going to last. Then, I look around to know the traffic situation and adjust my speed (within high and low legal/common sense limits) so that I can drive past one green light after another. It's almost an art in addition to being an interesting game. I would name it my favorite fuel saving technique.
Among the many techniques, what is your favorite one to save fuel?
