#12 Gear On or Roll On?
Many people coast along while driving, with the view of saving fuel which is a great idea.
The trick is to let the car coast in a high gear instead of using neutral. When a car is in coasting in neutral, the engine continues to idle and will consume more fuel.
Today, most cars will shut off the fuel supply to the engine completely if you coast in gear, saving you fuel while coasting. A great example is coasting in a high gear while going downhill.
