With the Pacific storms in the last 10 days or so we've had mostly southerly winds at 10-15 MPH. That is quite significant for your mileage.

Re: A good commute
Auto stop has never come on for me other than when I'm stopped or almost stopped. I've been able to glide for 10-20 seconds on AutoStop, with a gentle brake and a downhill slope. It's a little risky, however, because the engine kicks back on if you don't brake hard enough. And once it kicks back on, it might not go back into AutoStop right away.
I've gotten into AutoStop mode while in Neutral a few times, but only when stopped. Usually, I have to be in Drive to achieve AutoStop.
