I drove a 2009 Ford Tarus for a couple of weeks a while back and the rpms DIDNOT drop when coasting in neutral.
Fords always seem to idle stupidly high when put in neutral. I kicked my Taurus into neutral once trying to go from D to OD ... with no foot on the gas, the RPMs shot up to 3000 for no reason.
