I tried a bit of this today. I drove behind a semi (not too close) on the highway. At a light with a long signal, I killed my engine. I accelerated slowly and tried not to slow down unncessarily. And I kept my highway speed down.
Ugh. I'd rather pay the extra $7 a week and enjoy driving than pull any of this crap.
