Consumption at idle vs non-dfco
When coming to a stop, engine braking consumes no fuel and is the best way to slow down if you have enough momentum to make it.
But DFCO only works above a certain rpm. I think mine is around 1800, because I can kind of feel a very tiny bump when the revs fall below that, and the engine braking starts to diminish. (I could be wrong about the rpm, but it's my best guess).
Here's my question: If you can make it to a stop by either: coasting in neutral, or coasting in gear at an rpm too low for fuel-cutoff, which consumes less fuel? Do both options simply consume the same gph as idling?
