Hi there,
I did try a search on this subject but didnt dig anything up.
Google turns up lots of people who think leaving a car in gear is more fuel efficient than coasting
and this page from the DVLA.....
Section 122 of the Highway code:
Coasting. This term describes a vehicle travelling in neutral or with the clutch pressed down. It can reduce driver control because
-engine braking is eliminated
-vehicle speed downhill will increase quickly
-increased use of the footbrake can reduce its effectiveness
-steering response will be affected, particularly on bends and corners
-it may be more difficult to select the appropriate gear when needed
SO as far as I can tell, they are just saying be more cautious if you coast?!
Anyone know for sure? Also what about engine off coasting?
Thanks for your help!
Mark
