When did DFCO become popular? Would that Saturn have it?
I found that my 2007 Pontiac Vibe has it. It kicks in at speeds over 35-40mph when the engine is warmed up. Because my automatic isn't tow-flat friendly, I really shouldn't turn my car off in neutral.
However, I'm trying to observe what happens when I focus on utilizing the DFCO to its fullest versus throwing it in neutral (engine on) during coasting. The ScanGauge and my fuel log are so far indicating that focusing on the DFCO benefit in an automatic Vibe is worth it.
Long live my transmission!
