Very few people know how to drive so that they use less gas. For instance, folks think cruise control uses the least gas, but it uses the most because it deccelerates (as in holds back) on declines, and accelerates (as in increases gas) on inclines. Maybe for flat terrain it's better, but for hilly, nuh uh.

Yep, and people don't understand the lift and coast concept.
I love lift, and coasting really pisses the people behind me off. That's fun too. They pass me in a big huff, and find me right behind them at the next light.
Yep, the bob and weave method rarely pays off in time saved.
Actually the cruise control on our Mitsubishi Triton ute was awesome. You could feel it driving like a normal person would.
Cruise control on a Toyota sucks balls. Hell, I set it to cruise control in town and it then yells at me to obey the speed rules, only IT'S the one doing the damn driving.
