Coasting in Neutral (Auto transmission)
I've been experimenting with shifting my transmission into neutral while going downhill (No use of brakes either). I’ll be in neutral for up to 2-3 minutes. Of course, with the scangauge, I’ve noticed that my currently MPG goes up quite a bit. I figured that this would increase my overall MPG, but it hasn’t. So from this simple experiment, I’ve seen no difference in MPG with car in drive or in neutral.

I'm also a believer in "Tufoil"-been adding that in my vehicles for 20+ years (And yes, I'm experimented with Duralube, Slick50, Prolong and zmax, and what did I find? No improvement in MPG. I keep on coming back to Tufoil).
