this can save even more fuel, if your SUV still uses fossil fuels and you accelerate at the optimal engine load and then glide. It's called pulse and glide.
- Spooky23 3y agoHonda Pilot. I find myself taking the same 3 hour drive every couple of weeks this year. With the cruise set at 65 or 85, you’re in 10th gear (iirc) and there’s no significant difference. Variance is more driven by traffic in the city. Once you start working the pedal, mileage drops ~20%.
