It took me months to hypermile correctly.

True the clutch in a manual is used more often and in an auto trans the in and out from N can be a problem if not done correctly. I slow down and rev match prior to engaging D again, and feel no issue with this as I have done this for years with no problems.

HOWEVER, the engine being off and/or used more lightly, must certainly SAVE volumes of wear on neartly all other parts. So this thread and many like it, is really a non issue.

Instead of needing to defend ourselves when these threads pop up, we should just refer the clever poster elsewhere.

I sold my Citroen a couple of weeks ago and taught the new owner some hypermiling.

He wrote it off in the second week, due to a failed bump start that left him stopped in a bad place and hit and run by another vehicle. His name was John.

But going back to the thread topic. I wore my brake rotors down descending mountain ranges without engine braking.
