Why don't there seem to be any economy races in the greater Low Countries region?

In fact, you're probably p&g'ing intuitively already, as in eco mode, an A2 or Lupo 3L shifts to neutral as soon as you release the gas pedal. You should just try a get the most out of this unique feature. That is, unique for a 1 decade old design, as VW's newest implementation of its DSG gearbox reportedly also glides in neutral.
