When I drive my wifes automatic suv, I usually coast in gear at hills, going down I accelerate, up I use little to no throttle. I know some people exercise the right to drive as slow as they want, but out here people are crazy. So I let myself drop to the speed limit, or a few under, and then just mainain until the next hill. speeding, I speed as much as possible without getting a ticket, so when I come to a hill, I have room to drop.
In older cars, it was way more efficient to coast in nuetral than in gear, but it seems that is not exactly 100% confirmed anymore.
Not getting into a heated debate, but now a days autos typically are rated higher than standards, so surely there are improvements or changes going on.
I can't help but wonder what M C thinks when he says "I Have an auto trans, help me" amd the first response is "press the clutch" lol
