12 Tips to Better Fuel Economy
Tip 12 Use Momentum and Hills – Coast in Gear, not in Neutral.
Many people coast along while driving, with the view of saving fuel. This idea can be improved, if coasting along while you’re driving, let the car coast in a high gear instead of coasting in neutral. Putting the car in neutral leaves the engine to continue idle by consuming fuel, whereas most cars nowadays 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.
