In my manual transmission car there's a lot od difference coasting in neutral or geared. 6% slope terminal velocity rises from 95 km/h (geared) to 140 km/h (neutral).
I tested also with a van and 5% slope and even the fuel cosnumtion said the computer it was (about 2.5L/100km) the same when cruise control and geared speed was mantained than in neutral, the acceleration got a terminal speed near 135 km/h.

IN a autonatic geaarbox do you think coasting in neutral and smoth N to D (if possible) will hurt transmission or is it illegal in somewhere? http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...tml#post317445
