If you are concerned about fuel consumption while coasting in neutral, shut down the engine during the coast and clutch start the engine just before you come to a stop. While idling, the VX engine uses very little gas, my SuperMID shows over 200mpg (its maximum displayed mileage) while idle coasting in neutral until I get below 28 mph. Despite the tall gearing a VX/CX will coast a lot further in neutral than it will with the engine spinning in 5th.
