Yup, build up as much momentum as possible and maintain it

Well, I hope the higher gas prices will mean the end of those nutty fellas who always like to rev their cars and zip in and out of lanes or squeeze between cars just for the heck of it.

I'm still doing that, trying to maintain speed!

When you drive at 20sen+/km, you have to drive slow like me. If I still drive like that, it will be nearly 30sen/km already!

I usually don't do drafting as it's too dangerous, but I try not to brake!

No la.. There's a difference between not trying to brake (I do that too!) and revving and zipping in and out of traffic.

These guys will come really close to your back and twist in and out of traffic just for the heck of it. Maybe they are just training for F1 but it's stupid to do it in heavy, slow traffic.

I managed to drive extra 40/50km on my last RM1.92 fuel, full tanks. I think the 0-100 time has increase from 12 secs to 1 min.

Everyone zoom pass me at traffic light start, but I overtook them back when I reach 80km/h.

I think this is the best fuel saving method. Your right foot.
