A motionless car idling wastes fuel. A car idling at cruising speed is awesome.
Braking wastes fuel. If you're in gear going down hills, you are braking.
I've got a poll question:
What would you rather be doing?
1. Having your engine constantly burning gas under load.
2. Being under load as little as possible and the rest of the time only burning enough gas to keep it turning over.
