We should try education too, not just technological compromises and obstructions and costs and complications.

Seriously, quit spending money and learn how to manage heavy equipment efficiently.
This is illegal. That's why. It is against the law to coast in neutral. Forget EOC. And forget car companies tailoring cars for EOC.

Minnesota, for instance:

169.39 COASTING.

(a) The driver of any motor vehicle when traveling upon a downgrade shall not coast with the gears of such vehicle in neutral.
