Hypermiling Question
One of the Hypermiling tips, number 76 to be exact, says to switch to neutral when stopped (in an automatic vehicle) to avoid the car trying to creep forward. This makes sense to me, but I've noticed (in 2 cars, an Acura TL and a VW Beetle), that when I am stopped and shift to neutral, the RPM's climb ever so slightly. That got me wondering if that climb in RPM's offsets the amount of fuel saved in shifting to neutral in the first place. Any ideas?
Thanks guys, I'm just curious :P
