When you are 'cruising' you are at the top gear ratio in the vehicle: 5th gear, overdive, whatever.
the engine is at the lowest rpm.
This is the 'test' for HIGHWAY MPG.
What is so hard to understand???

You remind me of the guys who say they get more HP at WOT. Wide open throttle. So what???? YOur only at wot 5% of your life (max)
Unless your a delivery vehicle, making stop n go intown all day, your coast down is not relevant to everyday driving.
