I am new to the forums and have just been experimenting with Engine On Coasting, just bumping to neutral and back. It has helped significantly, combined FE went from 38 to 42.25 on my last tank!

Here's my question: will shifting to neutral and back into drive regularly cause premature wear on the transmission or prolong its life since it will be disengaged more often.
