You can Google technique specifics, but it involves momentum maintenance instead of acceleration/deceleration. To get the best gains you have to turn the engine off and coast as much as possible and swallow doing only 60 on the highway. The only downside is taking longer to drive, but for 50% better fuel economy I'll gladly sacrifice 5min in a half hour commute. If anyone else is sick of $4 per gal gas or wants to reduce thier carbon footprint I'd suggest trying it. Just be aware that when you turn the engine off the power steering goes away, and you only get 3 pumps of the brake pedal before the power brake assist goes away as well, so plan ahead.

Most retarded thing I have ever heard.
