I should phrase my thoughts better. I had thought I had said pretty much the same thing as the last two of you did.

Thanks for replying though.

Wait: Old Mechanic- Are you saying that you go down hill in low gears with the ENGINE TURNED OFF SO NO GAS IS USED? I don't think I have tried that yet because I keep thinking the engine would restart, but if my key is turned to OFF, I guess the engine wont start, eh? Oh well I was doing almost the same thing but I had the engine ON, and this lead to fairly high RPMs as the low gears slowed me down.

Sorry if I misunderstood.
