From a strictly legal point of view... laws vary by region - I was unable to find a law on the books where I live that even mentions neutral coasting. I realize in some US states it's on the books.

Thanks guys. I'm just massively disappointed because I honestly never thought I would have this conversation with any of you and I don't mean to be a sore thumb or discourage anyone at all.
Like I said, I'm in law enforcement myself but I'm not a hypocrite at all, nor do I claim to be a perfect driver all the time, yet I rarely ever speed excessively, I stop at every stop sign and don't put other people at risk certainly not for some selfish obsession of mine. So the thing to take away from it really: is I don't want hypermilers, ecomodders or even just the slightly concerned mileage watchers to get a bad name because I can guarantee that there are people out there who would love to smear us at the first opportunity. Please everybody continue to be safe and aware drivers so none of our cars ever end up in pictures anywhere.
