I am sure you will do really well sooner or later. You described youself as lead footed. I think there is a possibility of it being an overstatement. Even driving relatively fast can sometimes have good effects on F.E. Even if you do not pulse and glide (I rarely do), you can still accelerate a bit before a hill (subject to safety) and use the momentum to go up the hill. That will be a lot better than accelerating during the climb. Well, just an example to illustrate that going fast at the right moment can help save fuel. I by no means want to encourage speeding.
Good luck to all of us who make use of this thread to share experiences!
