Fuel Economy

At this point I have the garage door remote in my hand and I stick it way up high, out of the window, to get a signal over the hoods of the many trucks my neighbor has out front.

I then continue coasting to the rear of the culdesac and 90 degrees right and up the driveway and into my garage.

In other words it's a quick-turning, half-mile stealth run from the main feeder road right into my garage.
