MARTINSR, I believe you. In an average commute through a metropolitan area, there are not many opportunities to coast driving to / from work with everyone else. I would guesstimate 1-2 miles of coasting for my 64 mile daily commute ... so instead of running at 2600 rpm in D, I would be running 1200 rpm in N. Its not much of a savings without ideal road conditions. Every little bit helps and will add up especially in combination with other hypermiling tactics, so I will just keep it as one of tactics when the road permits.
