I'm a bit safer. I coast with the clutch in and engine on - that way I'm just a foot movement away from being in gear. Same with pulse and glide - all 5th gear and gliding with the clutch in. The only time I'm "neutral" coasting is when I am approaching a stoplight or stop sign and I am preparing to brake soon.

I'll never have the "best" fuel mileage with a Metro, but I'll be up there with room for improvement - when I get the gumption!

Later
