What in your experience, is the hardest skill to master in hypermiling ?

Here is a new topic for those who have been working to save gas for a while now, what driving technique is giving you the most challenge so far?

For me it has got to be timing lights! I am downtown alot and the stop and go just kills my average fe for the day. I know all the tricks, what to look for etc... but I find myself either thinking i got it made and keeping going, only for it to suddenly change and I have to stop, losing all my lovely momentum, and having to start from scratch guzzeling fuel to get going again!, Or I think that it is going to change soon, so I start to coast down only to find it would have stayed green way long enough to keep going if I would not have slowed. Also less significant but related, mistiming lights as when to shut off the ice. come up to a red light thinking it will be red for a while, fas, then it goes green right away, or it looks like its about to change, so i idle, only to waste gas idling more than 10 seconds!

So what are the things you are learning that still end up using more fuel than you would like?
