Ease off the accelerator early instead of braking late
A real, no-cost mileage gain from timing alone.
Why it works
Braking converts fuel-bought momentum straight into heat. Coasting toward a stop you can already see coming — a red light, traffic ahead — keeps that momentum working for you longer, so the engine burns less fuel getting back up to speed afterward.
